Bye-Election: INEC Declares APC’s Daje Winner Of Munya Constituency In Niger
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Mathew Dogara Daje, winner of the Munya Constituency bye-election in Niger State.
Announcing the results at Sarkin Pawa, headquarters of Munya Local Government Area, the Returning Officer, Professor Abdulkarim Saka, said Daje polled 12,556 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, who secured 5,646 votes — a margin of 6,910.
The bye-election was conducted to fill the vacant Niger State House of Assembly seat following the death of Joseph Haruna Duza of the PDP.
Meanwhile, the PDP candidate, Sabo Sunday Adabyinlo, accused the APC of deploying state resources to influence the poll, alleging vote-buying and voter intimidation.
In his acceptance speech, Daje thanked the Governor and APC supporters across Munya Local Government for their unwavering support during the election.
