Similarly, in the nine polling units in Mashi local government area the APC scored 1,6332 against PDP’s 676 votes out of the 2,231 total votes cast .
Ayuba said these scores were added to the previous votes recorded by the political parties during the bye election conducted in May 2017 to arrive at the final result .
Ayuba announced that a total of 3,382 votes were cast during the Saturday election out of the 9,089 registered voters in the affected polling units.
He said the number of valid votes was 3,370 while 286 votes cast were rejected.
NAN reports that the election into the Mashi/Dutsi Federal Constituency which was earlier won by Mashi was nullified by the Election Petition Tribunal due to “substantial non compliance with election rules and regulations”.
The Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the tribunal and ordered supplementary election in the 15 polling units.
