PDP sweeps all 20 LGAs in Bauchi council poll

The Executive Chairman of the Bauchi State Independent Electoral Commission (BASIEC), Alhaji Ahmed Makama, declared the results on Saturday night.

Newspot reports that prior to the election, the main opposition, the All Progressives Congress, APC, had expressed concerns that the ruling PDP and BASIEC might manipulate the election results in favor of the PDP.
