The Kebbi State Independent Electoral Commission (KESIEC) announced on Sunday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the local government elections held in the state on Saturday.
Chairman of the commission, Aliyu Abubakar Mera, made the announcement in Birnin Kebbi stating that the APC won all 21 chairmanship seats and 255 councillorship seats.
Mera said 17 political parties participated in the election, including the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Labour Party (LP), African Action Congress (AAC), Action Peoples Party (AP), and Social Democratic Party (SDP).
He stated that the commission has accepted the results announced by the electoral officers at the local government and ward levels.
Mera also expressed his delight at the peaceful conduct of the elections.
It could be recall that the bleeding opposition party in the state ,the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) boycotted the election, alleging that the KESIEC chairman is a member of the APC.
The PDP claimed that the commission’s leadership would not be fair to the opposition parties.
