 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has declared the candidate of the ruling all-progressive Congress, Sen. Ubasani, winner of the governorship election in Cardinal State. INEC's state of returning officer in Cardinal, Professor Lawak Suleiman Bilbis, says Sen. Ubasani pulled the highest number of 730,002 votes to defeat the candidate of the opposition People's Democratic Party, Issa Ashiru Kudang, who came second with 719,196, while Labour Party's candidate, Jonathan Asake, came distant third with 58,283. I am the retano officer for the 2023 Cardinal State Governorship Elections, held on the 18th of March 2023, Sen. Uba of ABC, 730,002, Sykes Jonathan of LP, 582,L3, Sen. Uba of ABC, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared at the winner and returned elected. For the PDP agent, Hon. Anjuma Sarki says the result is contrary to the data available to them from the party's situation room and that of the IRF portal. He argued that the margin of lead is less than the number of cancelled votes, so the election should be declared as inconclusive. I totally reject this result because it is not a true reflection of the mandate of the people of Cardinal State as expressed in the various policies across the state on the 18th of March 2020. However, the all-progressive Congress agent, Yahya Party, commanded INEC for conducting free, fair and transparent electoral process. We are very happy for the victory and it clearly shows that the people of Cardinal State have been confident in us and we promise that we are going to fulfill all the promises we made during the election campaign today.
