Election Update: PDP Demand Immediate release of Ikot Ekpene Senatorial result
The People Democratic Party (PDP) of Akwa Ibom State has demanded that the result of the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District Election result be released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Akwa Ibom State.
We will recall that the Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District result has been shrouded with anxiety because of rumors that Sen. Godswill Akpabio of the All Progressive Congress (APC) lost to Mr Chris Ekpenyong who is a former Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State during Mr Victor Attah’s administration.
In a statement issued by the PDP Publicity Scretatry of the State, he said
“The collation of unit and ward results from Essien Udim local government area in the Presidential and National Assembly elections was undertaken earlier today(Monday) and winners emerged.
“The results from the presidential tally has been announced remaining that of the Senatorial and House of Representatives candidates.
“We hereby demand that INEC should without further delay announce the results of the Senatorial District and House of Representatives. We also demand that security operatives provide sufficient cover for the movement and announcement , in the light of recent developments threatening the announcement.
“There is no need for any further delay.”
