The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday said it would challenge the outcome of the governorship election in Kogi before the election petition tribunal.
The Publicity Secretary of the party in Kogi, Bode Ogunmola, said in Lokoja that the results of the election was unacceptable to the party and cannot stand the test of time.
He said the death of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abubakar Audu on Nov. 22, while collation was ongoing had made it inevitable for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare PDP candidate, Idris Wada, winner of the poll.
Ogunmola said PDP had rejected the declaration of Yahaya Bello as winner of the exercise, saying that the party would challenge the results before the tribunal.
He commended people of the state for their support to the party before and during the poll, urging them to continue to be law abiding.
