Bauchi supplementary election: PDP clears most polling units in Bauchi
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday strengthened its readiness to take over the Bauchi Government House as the party won big in most of the 36 polling units where supplementary elections were held.
The electoral commission, INEC, had two weeks ago declared the state’s governorship election inconclusive following the cancellation of polls in 36 polling units spread across the state.
Before the declaration, after the collation of 19 local governments out of the 20 in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC) trailed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 4,059 votes. The APC scored a total of 465,453 votes against the PDP’s 469,512 votes.
INEC had initially cancelled the result of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area due to the mutilation of collated result sheets at the local government collation centre.
The commission later reversed its decision on having supplementary polls in Tafawa Balewa local government after a fact-finding committee it set up reviewed the earlier decision.
INEC scheduled Tuesday this week as the day to resume collation of results in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area.
But the state governor, Mohammed Abubakar, and the ruling APC in Bauchi went to court to secure an injunction restraining INEC from continuing with the collation in Tafawa Balewa local government.
Mr Abubakar who is currently trailing the opposition candidate, Bala Muhammed, believes he can win a supplementary election in Tafawa Balewa.
The APC also had high hopes that it could also win in the 36 other polling units where the supplementary polls were held on Saturday.
However, according to the results obtained by Newsflash247 from 33 polling units, the PDP candidate has polled 6,289 ahead of the APC candidate who scored 4,986 voted.
The results have been announced at various polling units but yet to be declared at the INEC collation centre in the state capital.
