EDO GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION: PDP Rejects INEC’s Results, Cries Foul
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formally rejected the results of the Edo State Governorship election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The party’s acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, made this announcement during a press conference in Abuja, urging concerned Nigerians to stand in solidarity with the party’s stance.
Damagum was adamant that the PDP’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, was the rightful winner of the election, reiterating that the party “unequivocally rejects the result as announced by INEC.” The party’s leader emphasized that the outcome of the election was far from being free and fair, citing various irregularities and anomalies that marred the process.
The PDP’s rejection of the election results is a major blow to the electoral commission, which had earlier declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election. The party’s decision is likely to spark fresh controversy and potentially lead to further legal action.
The details of the PDP’s rejection are still emerging, but it is clear that the party will not go down without a fight. The situation is being closely monitored by stakeholders and observers, who are keenly awaiting developments in this high-stakes political drama.
