The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Jigawa State Chapter has rejected in totality the outcome of the just concluded by-election conducted at Babura/Garki Federal Constituency in the State.
This was contained in a press statement signed by PDP State Publicity Secretary Umar Kyari Jitau Madamuwa issued to STANDARD TRUST NEWS.
He said, the PDP’s rejection of the outcome was reached after careful study of the preparations, conduct and execution of the processes after which the Electoral Umpire, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared the candidate of APC as the winner.
PDP has observed how APC used state power and indulged heavily in vote buying, intimidation of voters as well as their harassment during the exercise.
It was reported that, the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has declared candidate of the APC Rabiu Mukhtar as the winner of the Garki/Babura by election.
The Candidate of APC Mukhtar Rabiu scored 38,449 votes, Isah Auwalu Manzo of the PDP received 13,519 votes and Sabo Salisu of NNPP received 2931 votes.
PDP is therefore calling on it’s entire supporters in the state as well as lovers of democracy to remain calm as it takes all necessary actions and measures to re-claim it’s stolen mandate which they gave to the party during last Saturday’s election.
