Kebbi State APC Wins Local Council Polls in Peaceful Exercise
The Kebbi State Independent Electoral Commission (KESIEC) has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of Saturday’s local council polls in the state. According to the commission’s chairman, Aliyu Mera, the APC won all 21 chairmanship seats and 225 Ward Councillors.
The polls, which were held on Saturday, saw 17 political parties participate, including the APC, NNPP, LP, AAC, Boot party, AP, and SDP. Mr. Mera announced that the commission had ratified and adopted the chairmanship results for the LGAs as announced by the various councils’ returning officers and the councillorship results as announced at the electoral wards.
The exercise was reportedly peaceful and hitch-free, with Mr. Mera expressing joy over the outcome. He commended the security agencies and all other stakeholders for their invaluable support.
However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had earlier boycotted the elections, alleging that the KESIEC chairman and his commissioners were card-carrying members of the APC. The PDP also claimed that the commission’s leadership would not be fair to opposition parties.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the PDP had boycotted the elections, citing the alleged unfairness of the electoral process.
