APC Wins All Chairmanship And Councillorship Seats In Kwara LGA Poll
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara has won all the contestable Chairmanship and Councillorship Seats in the local council elections held on Saturday.
According to the Chairman of the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission, Muhammed Baba Okanla, who announced the results in Ilorin, APC secured victory in all chairmanship and councillorship positions across the state’s 16 local government areas.
Speaking at a press conference in Ilorin, He said “firstly, I’d like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your tireless efforts and commitment to factual reporting.
“Your professionalism has been instrumental in ensuring the transparency and credibility of our electoral process.
“The electoral process, which unfolded across the state’s 16 local government areas and 193 wards, witnessed the participation of five political parties: APC, APM, PDP, SDP, and Accord.
“Our electoral officers and returning officers from the field have filed their results, and I’m pleased to share the outcomes with you.
“After meticulous collation and verification, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged victorious in all categories.
“Specifically, the APC has won all 16 Local Government Area chairmanship positions. The party has also secured all 193 councilorship seats.
“We commend political parties for their commitment to a peaceful election, which did not record any major casualty and the people of Kwara State for trooping out en masse to exercise their civic rights.
“We also like to appreciate security agencies for ensuring peace and orderliness throughout the voting process in a professional manner.”
Didactic Information Hut recalls that this is always the norm in local government elections in Nigeria where the ruling party wins all seats. This is one of the reasons behind the glamour for INEC to also conduct local council elections across Nigeria.
