Ondo election results: PDP makes a claim after losing to APC

  • The PDP has kicked against the outcome of the Ondo State Governorship election which held on Saturday November 16
  • According to the PDP, there were anomalies in the election and it was never free and fair following its loss to the APC.
  • The PDP then called for a review of the election exercise after its candidate, Agboola Ajayi, lost to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the APC.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rejected the result of the Ondo State governorship election citing irregularities and accusing Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of complicity. According to the party, the election results do not reflect the true will of the people and calls for a review of the entire process.

The PDPHis decision comes after Lucky Aiyedatiwa emerged victorious winning all the 18 local government areas with 355,781 votes while PDP’s Agboola Ajayi got 117,845 votes.

PDP Alleges Irregularities In Ondo Elections

However, the party claims that irregularities, including the late arrival of electoral materials, voter intimidation and manipulation of results, marred the election.

According to the opposition, its rejection is not surprising given the numerous reports of irregularities during the voting process. In some areas, election officials were absent, leaving voters stranded for hours. In other areas, there were allegations of harassment and intimidation of PDP members and operatives by thugs allegedly linked to the ruling party.

The party’s call for an election review is an attempt to ensure that the true will of the people is reflected in the outcome. They claim that the election was not free and fair and that INEC failed to conduct a credible and transparent process. PDP’s concerns about the conduct of the election are valid and warrant a thorough investigation.
