Plateau: PDP gives INEC ultimatum to declare Sen. Candidates, Gotom winner 

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Plateau Central Zone Forum (PCZF), has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), 72 hours to declare its candidate Amb. Yohanna Gotom winner of the senatorial election held 25th February 2023.

The Forum also disclosed that should INEC fail to heed to their request, they will be left with no option than to take every legal action to compel INEC to do so, warning that any attempt by a group of persons, individuals or INEC to subvert the will of the people will be vehemently resisted.

The leader of the group and former speaker Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon. Titus Alams, made this known while addressing journalists at the premises of INEC State office Kufang in Jos on Wednesday.

According to him: “After a careful study of the petition written by the senatorial agent of PDP the following flaws were discovered which includes mutilation of results, over voting in 9 registration areas in Kanam LGA, non usage of BVAS and casting errors in Mangu LGA among others.

Alarms further argued that INEC should as a matter of concern look into the issues raised by PDP agent and its candidate and do the needful by announcing Gotom as lawful winner of the election.
