PAUL ORUDE BAUCHI

Results of the supplementary election carried out in 15 local government areas of Bauchi State indicate that the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is having an upper hand.

As the news of the impending victory of PDP filters in with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) trailing in most polling units, hundreds of supporters of the PDP have converged on the entrance of the INEC office chanting victory songs.

Singing in Hausa, they chanted saying Bauchi people don’t want you MA, pack and go, we want Laura, our son.

As results from the local government come in, long convoys of vehicles with heavily-armed security personnel, the PDP supporters are breaking into frenzied jubilation

The results announced in some polling units in the affected local governments are as follow:
