The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been declared winner of Gombe
State’s Akko Federal Constituency rerun election conducted Wednesday 27,
January 2016.
Announcing the results in Kumo, the Returning Officer, Sofeme Jebson,
said that Ismaila Mu’azu Hassan of PDP was elected with 21,094 votes
while Musa Danladi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) took second with
4,578 votes.
Salisu Babikir of African Democratic Congress (ADC) scored 723 votes
and Haruna Adamu of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) scored 448 votes.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, had no candidate in the election,
following the nullification of its candidate’s 2015 win by the Appeal
Court.
The court had cancelled the election on the grounds that the
candidate, Umaru Kawuwa Barambu, did not properly defect from the PDP.
Meanwhile, the election for the Akko North state constituency was declared inconclusive by the Inconclusive, sorry I mean Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria
