Kaduna governorship election: PDP tells INEC to announce Ashiru winner

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kaduna State has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to announce its candidate, Isah Ashiru Kudan, winner of the governorship election without delay.

The election was conducted on Saturday March 18, 2023 with confusion trailing the outcome since then.

Speaking at a press conference in Kaduna on Monday, the State Chairman of the PDP, Felix Hassan alleged that the electoral umpire in Kaduna was delaying results announcement for surreptitious reasons.

He stressed: “I strongly call on INEC to without further delay, declare Rt. Hon. Mohammed Isah Ashiru elected Governor of Kaduna State using the authentic results in its server. Any attempt to change or doctor results will be viewed as a deliberate act to deny the people their right to freedom of choice.”
