The People’s Democratic Party, says it will challenge the outcome of Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State which produced candidate of the APC, Monday Okpebholo as winner.
National Chairman of the party, Umar Damagum in a statement in Abuja Today, said the result did not reflect the will and aspiration of the Edo people.
He accused the Federal Government of conniving with security agencies and INEC to rig the poll in favour of the APC.
“The PDP therefore unequivocally rejects the final result of the Edo State Governorship election as declared by INEC as it did not meet the minimum standard for democracy, having not reflected the expressed will and aspiration of the people in line with provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 and INEC Guidelines for State Governorship Election.“
“The PDP demands that INEC within the time stipulated by Section 65 of the Electoral Act, 2022 review the Edo State governorship election and announce results only as obtained from the genuine votes cast at the Polling Units,” he said.
