The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has declared the Bayelsa State governorship election as inconclusive.
The electoral body also cancelled the election held in Southern Ijaw local government area on Sunday, December 6.
INEC officials led by the REC, Prof Zana, had earlier announced
results from seven of the eight local government area in the state with
Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate and incumbent, Seriake
Dickson in the lead.
Dickson claimed victory in six of the LGAs while his main challenger, Timipre Sylva managed to win one LGA.
It would be recalled that earlier today, PDP supporters besieged INEC
office protesting the heavy presence of security operatives as well as
delay in announcement of results from Southern Ijaw.
