Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State has called on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmud Yakubu to reverse the declaration of Prince Dapo Abiodun as the winner of the gubernatorial election in the state held last Saturday.
Chairman of the Party, Dr Sikirullah Ogundele while addressing a news conference in Abeokuta over the result of the election explained that the returning officer, Professor Kayode Adebowale erred in line with the Electoral act 2022 to declare the election as conclusive.
The party-state Chairman represented by the Vice chairman Mr Kayode Bamgbose noted that the electoral act had indicated that where the difference between the winner and the loser is less than the cancelled vote, the results should be inconclusive.
The party highlighted that since the APC candidate was leading with a margin of thirteen thousand nine hundred and twelve votes and with a cancelled votes of thirty-three thousand seven hundred and fifty in over a hundred polling uniit, the election should have been declared inconclusive by the returning officer.
The party called on INEC leadership to declare the election inconclusive, replace the returning officer and conduct a rerun election in the state.
