Kogi West rerun: Tension as collation begins
The Kogi West senatorial rerun has moved to the collation centres amid tension after sorting and counting of votes ended in all the 53 polling units involved.
Although, the process was peaceful in Lokoja and other areas of Kogi West, including Odolu in Kabba, Aiyetoro-Gbedde and Demonstration Primary School, Asuta, the turnout of voters was poor.
At Ward B, Polling Unit 001, Karaworo, near Pararanda, in Lokoja, accreditation began as early as 8.00 a.m., after which voting commenced.
Sorting and counting was done fairly easily and quickly too without any complaints from any of the party agents on ground.
Early report shows that in GRA Asuta Ward 01, Kabba, APC had 254 votes while PDP had 95.
In the same town, Town Hall, polling Unit 002, Asuta Ward, APC had 48 while PDP had 98
Results from affected polling units will first be collated at the Local Government level before being transferred to Lokoja, where it will be added to the initial result, and the final announcement will be made.
