Ogun Bye-Election: BOOT Rejects IPAC’s Call For Opposition Parties To Accept Results

The BOOT party in Ogun State has rejected the results of the recent bye-election in the Remo Federal Constituency, where the APC candidate was declared the winner. The party dismissed the call by IPAC for opposition parties, particularly the PDP, to accept the outcome.

The IPAC Chairman had urged calm and acceptance of the results, but the BOOT party criticized the decision as ignoring alleged electoral malpractice and fraud in favor of the ruling party. The BOOT party emphasized the need for a free, fair, and credible election, urging opposition parties to reject the call for result acceptance.

They stated that the election results did not reflect the will of the people and that they would take legal action to challenge the outcome. The party accused IPAC of neglecting its role in promoting credible elections and defending democracy, instead acting as a mouthpiece for the ruling party.

They emphasized the importance of upholding democratic processes and reclaiming the people's mandate through lawful means.
