TVC E, POLITICS – The Plateau state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the rerun election in Plateau south constituency held on Saturday.
State Chairman of PDP, Raymond Dabo made the position of the party known in a statement issued in Jos on Sunday.
The All Progressive Congress( APC) candidate Alice Dimlong was declared winner of the rerun elections into the State House Assembly by-election for Pankshin North constituency
Similarly Pharm Gideon Dashe of APC also won the rerun elections for Pankshin South.
According to The PDP Chairman, the rejection of the result by the party was based on irregularities that characterized the election in polling units of that constituency.
“Our candidate for the same election, Hon Istifanus Muansat was denied acess to the polling unit, our party agents were chased out, my very self was also not allowed to come near the polling units, but APC members and agents were allowed freely to come in and manipulate the election.
“Thugs hired by APC chased me away from the polling unit. It was a display of impunity by the rulling APC government, and a flagrant show of power because the Deputy Governor who is not from the polling unit was allowed to be there but any PDP members were not allowed” he said.
“I declared that what happened today in Pankshin south was not an election. It was impunity of APC to have their ways they way they wanted and all these happened with the support of Nigerian Police. “
