INEC Directs APC to Fill Audu’s Position, Election to Continue From Where It Stopped

As predicted there will be no fresh election in Kogi State, irrespective of the ugly turn of event with regards to the unexpected death of APC's Prince Audu Abubakar, who was clearly the leading candidate in the November 21, 2015, governorship election.

From records, APC has already won the election because the number of registered voters with PVC in the affected areas is far less than the difference between the APC and the PDP candidates.

Consequently, INEC leadership has taken action...

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday afternoon told the All Progressives Congress (APC) to “fill the vacancy” created by the death of Prince Abubakar Audu, its candidate in the Kogi state governorship election, immediately.  

The electoral body also announced that it has fixed December 5 for the supplementary election in the few affected areas in the state.
