The Peoples Democratic Party has officially rejected the Edo State Governorship election results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
During a press conference in Abuja, PDP acting National Chairman Umar Damagum on Monday called on concerned Nigerians to support the party’s rejection of the election results.
The Independent National Electoral Commission announced on Saturday that Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress won the Edo State Governorship election.
Okpebholo received 291,667 votes, defeating the PDP’s Asue Ighodalo, who garnered 247,274 votes, and the Labour Party’s Olumide Akpata, who came in third with 22,763 votes.
Out of the 18 local government areas in the state, the APC won 10, while the PDP secured 8.
Damagum claimed that the PDP candidate, Ighodalo, was the legitimate winner of the election and alleged that the election did not meet the necessary democratic standards.
