PDP Rejects Kwara LG Election Results, Calls for Fresh Polls
As reported by Daily Trust, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has rejected the results of Saturday's local government election, labelling the process a "desecration of democracy" and a misuse of public funds.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the party's Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Adewara, the PDP demanded the cancellation of the election and called for a fresh poll to be conducted.
“We will explore legal means to restore the stolen mandate of the people,” Adewara said, adding that over 85% of voters were disenfranchised across the 16 local government areas.
PDP also criticised the tribunal set up to address complaints, claiming it fell short of constitutional requirements. The party called for a new tribunal to be headed by a high court judge.
On Sunday, the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC) declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) the winner in all 16 councils.
