Police Arrest Electoral Officer Who ‘Tore Result Sheet’ Of Contentious Ayedaade LG

While announcing the yesterday's Osun governorship election, INEC has said that APC polled 10,861 votes in Ayedaade LGA, while the PDP recorded 9,836. However a result sheet circulating online has 10,836 votes-1000 more against PDP's name. The PDP agent at the INEC collation centre in Osogbo made the complaint, with leading PDP officials outside Osun State making the point as well.

The disputed 1,000 votes could prove crucial, as the race between PDP’s Ademola Adeleke and APC’s Isiaka Oyetola is proving one of the closest electoral tussles in Nigeria’s history.
