INEC Declares APC’s Obaseki Winner Of Edo Governorship Election

The party rejected the results at a press conference addressed by the state party chairman, Dan Orbih, on Thursday in Benin, even when the announcement of results where still ongoing at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Benin.

The press conference was also attended the party’s governorship candidate in the election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Orbih, alleged that the results were pre-determined and fabricated.

The party and its candidate said they rejected the results because they were “fabricated and a pre-determined” by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Edo Government.

Mr. Orbih said the results as they were being announced by the INEC, were at a complete variance with what the party got from it agents and independent observers.

He said the two-week extension of the poll by the electoral body was to allow for more time to perfect the manipulation of the process.
