A former Chief of Air Staff and member of the People Democratic Party, Air Vice-Marshal Isaac Alfa (retd), has been declared winner of Kogi East Senatorial re-run election held on Saturday.
The Independent National Electoral Commission’s Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Lucky Ovwhasa, said Alfa polled 57, 575 votes to defeat five other candidates.
He said that the candidates of Mega People Political Party, United Progressives Party, KOWA, ACPN and Labour Party scored 1,793, 888, 498, 349 and 11,908 votes, respectively, in the election.
The All Progressives Congress did not participate in the exercise due to an Appeal Court judgment which prohibited it from fielding a candidate.
Ovwhasa said the senatorial election was held in 236 out of the 1,080 polling units in the area with 140, 297 voters out of the 643,559 registered voters in the area participating in the election.
