Ondo PDP rejects Akoko by-election – The Nation

Ten days after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the by-election into the vacant seat of Akoko South-West/South-East Federal Constituency, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday rejected the result of the election.

At a news conference in Akure, the state capital, a pressure group within the party under the aegis of Unity Advancement Forum (UAF) called for an election tribunal to probe the conduct of the election.

Chairman of the group, Chief Segun Adegoke, who was Special Adviser to fomer Governor Olusegun Agagu, also urged the police to prosecute those arrested during the election.

According to him, the two by-elections conducted on September 19 in Akure North and Akoko South-West/South-East should also be probed .
