APC Wins All 23 LG and 276 Councillorship Seats in Benue

The APC won all 23 local government chairmanship seats in Benue’s elections on Saturday.

The Chairman of BSIEC, Richard Tombowua, announced the results on Sunday in Makurdi.

According to Tombowua, the APC swept all 276 councillorship seats in the state.

The chairman said the election took place in all 5,102 polling units across the state, in 276 council wards within 23 local governments.

He said that according to the 23 local government electoral officers, APC won all the seats. Five other political parties were also in the race.

“A total of eight political parties participated in the elections, but in the field, only five participated, which are APC, APGA, LP, PDP, and SDP.

“There is no local government where there was a candidate that was returned unopposed; every local government election is contested the same thing with the ward council,” he said.
