Kogi LG Poll: APC Wins 21 Chairmanship Seats

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all the 21 local government chairmanship seats and 239 councillorship slots in the Kogi Local Council election, held on Saturday.

Declaring the result of the election on Saturday evening in Lokoja, the Kogi state Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC), Mr Mamman Nda-Eri, said the election was peaceful, free, fair and credible.

“APC performed excellently; it cleared all the chairmanship and councillorship positions, leaving nothing to the other 18 political parties that took part in the election.

“The results declared at the headquarters were earlier announced at the various collations centres by the respective Returning Officers”, Nda-Eri said.

Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, in Lokoja Local Government Area, Alhaji Idris Sofada, has described the just concluded Local Government election conducted by the Kogi state Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC), as laughable and a total caricature of electoral process.
