YPP says “Although there was no level playing field, our party won comfortably in several polling units.”
He added that votes were cast in non-designated locations and inaccessible places including a Royal Palace.
“We are proud of our candidates, the campaigns they ran and our efforts at the elections, and grateful for the support of all of you who are passionate about building a better Nigeria and the expansion of the democratic space,” he said.The party also accused adhoc staff of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission of colluding with party agents and political associates to rig the election.
“In the three polling units at Igbokusu, our agents were harassed, threatened and chased away from their polling stations where ballots were stuffed and people voted multiple times with the collusion of LASIEC officials and the police. “The Youth Party will continue to fight vigorously, at the polling booth and in courts of law, to enforce the rights of Nigerians to participate in the democratic space,” the party leader said.
