#BayelsaDecides: All eyes on Southern Ijaw as Dickson leads

The final result from Southern Ijaw Local Government Area is being awaited in the Bayelsa State gubernatorial supplementary election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission cancelled the December 5, 2015 governorship election in Brass, Ekeremor, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Nembe, Ogbia, Sagbama, Southern Ijaw, Yenagoa- which led to the declaration of the governorship election as inconclusive.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner for Bayelsa state, Prof. Zana Akpagu will on Sunday, January 10, declare the next governor of the state after the much awaited Southern Ijaw result comes in.

In an election that’s resulted in bloodshed from violence and ballot boxes snatching and voting disruption, Timipre Sylva of the All Progressives Congress hopes to unseat sitting governor, Seriake Dickson.

In that election, Dickson polled 105,748 votes while Sylva had 72,594 votes. Thus far, the incumbent governor, Dickson is in the lead.

From the six local government councils announced, Dickson got 6069 votes, while Sylva had 4042 votes.
