Akwa Ibom's First Free & Fair Elections Favours PDP

The Saturday Rerun Elections that held in Akwa Ibom were the first Free, Fair and Credible polls to be witnessed in the State since May 29, 1999. And it ended in favour of Pdp.


Analysts believe that the results may encourage PDP, a party that have consistently exhibited a neurotic

desire to win elections through rigging - and indeed APC, who won the 2015 elections through rigging - to consider the morality of electioneering without fraud and bloodshed. And if that can be achieved in Akwa Ibom, other Nigerian states may learn the virtue as well.

Of 59,430 of votes cast, PDP scored 52,790, which is 88.8 %. APC had  10.87%, Accord party had 0.12% and Labour party had 0.18%.
