The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has questioned why the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to respond to a petition it submitted challenging the outcome of the March 18 governorship election in the state. The PDP submitted a petition challenging the outcome of the election following alleged irregularities leading to the declaration of Uba Sani of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) winner after polling a total of 730,002 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Isa Ashiru of the PDP who scored a total of 719,196 votes.
Electoral Body, INEC’s Silence On Kaduna State Governorship Election Results Shows Connivance – PDP KicksThe State PDP Chairman, Mr Felix Hyet, said that the party, while it remained law abiding, decided to seek redress through a civilised way.
The PDP submitted a petition challenging the outcome of the election following alleged irregularities leading to the declaration of Uba Sani of the ruling All Progressives Congress winner after polling a total of 730,002 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Isa Ashiru of the PDP who scored a total of 719,196 votes.
Hyet said that “Section 82 of the Electoral Law gives us the opportunity to seek redress or review to the national headquarters through administrative procedure by writing a petition to seek for a review within seven days of election. “Unfortunately, they have said nothing and we wonder why? Their quietness seems to us as a connivance with the ruling party and the state to subvert justice and deny the people of the state the right to choose a leader.”
