The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the dominant victor in the local government elections, securing all 21 chairmanship seats and 239 councillorship positions in the polls held on Saturday.
Announcing the results in Lokoja, KOSIEC Chairman, Mr. Mamman Nda-Eri, praised the election as peaceful, free, fair, and credible. He commended all stakeholders involved for their roles in ensuring a smooth process.
Among the elected chairpersons was a woman who emerged as the chairperson in Ogori-Magongo Local Government Area, marking a notable achievement in gender representation.
“The APC performed excellently, winning all chairmanship and councillorship positions, leaving no seats to the 18 other political parties that participated in the election,” Nda-Eri said.
He confirmed that the results had been previously declared at various collation centres by the respective Returning Officers before being officially endorsed by KOSIEC.
Nda-Eri expressed gratitude to the electoral officials, security agencies, observers, and journalists for their contributions to the successful conduct of the election, ensuring a credible and transparent process.
It’s observed that the opposition parties in the state did not put much energy into the election.
