The PDP emerged winner in the election after the resumption of the
collation by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The results for the governorship election was however halted
because of Court Order given by an Abuja High Court following a suit
filed by Governor Mohammed Abubakar and the All Progressive Congress,
APC.
It would be recalled that the Tafawa Balewa local government
results were rejected by the state INEC Returning Officer, Professor
Mohammed Kyari after an alleged reported cases of violence and
intimidation at the local government collation Center.

declared.
The commission resumed the collation for the State House of
Assembly but halted the collation of result for the governorship
election in obedience to the court order.
