The Independent National Electoral
Commission has declared Peoples Democratic Party candidates as the
winners of 13 of the 14 results released so far in the 16 constituencies
where elections held in Bayelsa State.
A list of the names of winners in the
election released by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Baritor
Kpagih, did not include the votes scored by the respective candidates
and their political parties.
When he was accosted by journalists for a
comprehensive result, he referred journalists to the Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Timidi Wariowei, who told journalists interested in the
number of votes scored by each candidate and political party to write
INEC.
A look at the result released by INEC
showed that the PDP won 13 out of the 14 Assembly seats released so far
while the APC won one.
The election was declared inconclusive
in Ogbia Constituency II while elections could not hold in Brass
Constituency II because the youths allegedly insisted on sighting
collation results sheets before the commencement of accreditation.
The PDP winners as announced by INEC are
Abraham Ingobere, Brass Constituency 111; Ololo Ben, Ingo Iwowari; and
Obiene Iniyobiyo.
Others are Monday Obolo, Igali Barapadei, Benson Friday, for the Southern Ijaw Constituencies 1, III and IV respectively.
Also, returned as winners are Salo
Adikumo, Sagbama III, Dr. Parkinson Markmanuel, Ebiuwou Obiyai and
Emelah Epilefa for Yenagoa constituencies 1, II and III.
The only successful candidate from the
opposition APC defeated the Deputy Speaker, Victor Sam-Ateki, to win the
Brass I Constituency seat.
