By-Election: No Visible Upset as APC, PDP, NNPP Maintain Strongholds, ADC Falters
The recent by-elections saw the APC, PDP, and NNPP maintaining their strongholds, while the ADC faced setbacks. Results from Edo and Kano states showed significant margins in favor of the APC and NNPP, respectively.
The PDP maintained a lead in Ibadan North Federal Constituency. The ADC, which had been making waves in the political landscape, faltered in the elections.
The elections, held in 12 states across the country, presented high stakes as parties jostled for positions. Former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai's endorsement of the ADC candidate in Anambra South Senatorial District was rejected by INEC.
The elections were marred by accusations of vote-buying, with both the APC and PDP trading blame. Security operatives arrested alleged vote buyers in Kaduna and Adamawa states.
The upcoming governorship polls in Anambra, Osun, and Ekiti states are expected to face similar challenges.
