The APC has rejected the Bayelsa State Governorship election results, disputing Governor Douye Diri’s victory and accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of partiality.
SavvyNews reported earlier that Governor Diri secured 175,196 votes, while the APC candidate, Sylva, received 110,108 votes.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, an APC agent claimed that INEC, at the state collation centre, cancelled over 84,000 votes belonging to the APC candidate, allegedly paving the way for Governor Diri’s easy victory.
“The total votes cancelled that APC scored in the field was about 84,860 votes. Add it to what APC scored here. We clearly won the election. It is clear that INEC has connived with the PDP to cancel our results here in this INEC office, not at the field,” stated the APC agent during a press address.
The APC agent disclosed that the party’s next move would be to challenge the election results before the tribunal, citing concerns about rigging and manipulation by INEC during the electoral process in the state.
