The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State has formally rejected the results from the local government elections, describing the process as flawed and indicating intentions to seek legal recourse.Â
During a press conference in Jos, APC chairman Rufus Bature expressed the party’s dissatisfaction with how the election was conducted, specifically pointing to issues with the distribution and management of voting materials.
Bature claimed that ballot papers were insufficient in many polling units, particularly those perceived to favor the APC, which received only a fraction of the necessary supplies.
He also noted that some areas did not receive any results sheets at all, despite numerous complaints to the electoral officers.
In addition to the issues with election materials, Bature highlighted that faulty voting machines often malfunctioned early in the process, hampering the voting experience.
He alleged that this was a strategy to manipulate the election results and disenfranchise voters.
There were also reports of irregularities, including ballot stuffing in areas dominated by the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), with some regions reportedly not holding elections at all.
Bature urged party supporters to remain patient and assured them that the APC would take all necessary steps to reclaim its electoral mandates.
