Former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar has polled a total of 594,068 votes across the 25 local government areas of Delta State in last Saturday’s presidential election.

His rival and incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressive Congress (APC) scored a total of 221,292 votes.

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Collation Officer for state, Prof. Seth Accra Jaja, Vice Chancellor of Federal University, Otuoke announced the results in Asaba after collating the various results from various local government areas as earlier announced by respective LGA collation officers.

Atiku won in 23 out of the 25 councils, leaving Buhari with two.

Buhari won in Ethiope East LGA where the state governorship candidate, Great Ogboru hails from; and Ughelli North LGA where incumbent Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and state APC leader, O’tega Emerhor hail from.

Chairman of the state APC campaign council and former governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan did not only lost his senatorial election for Delta South, but failed to deliver APC in his Warri North LGA.

Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu also lost his local government, Aniocha North to the PDP.

Meanwhile, the PDP won two senatorial seats with incumbent senators Peter Nwaoboshi and James Manager retaining their seats for Delta North and Delta South respectively. Similarly, incumbent Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for Delta Central also retained his seat.

While Nwaoboshi polled 186,423 votes to defeat Doris Uboh of APC with 36,360 votes to retain the seat for Delta North, Mr. Manager pulled an upset in Delta South, defeating immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan of the APC, who was primed to win going to series of endorsements he enjoyed prior to the election.

Manager who has been in the red chamber since 2003, scored 258,812 votes while Uduaghan scored 125,776 votes.

On his part, Omo-Agege defeated Mrs. Evelyn Oboro of the PDP to retain his senatorial seat for Delta Central.

In the House of Representatives election, PDP clinched nine out of the available ten seats in the green chamber, with House Minority Leader, Leo Ogor polling 34,000 to trash Joel Onowakpor of the APC who scored 23,553 votes.

Like Manager, Ogor who represents Isoko Federal Constituency will be serving his fifth tenure in the next dispensation.

Buhari polls 25% again.he really exceeded expectations....

good outing from GMB

Buhari polls 25% again.he really exceeded expectations....

I'm amazed

Wow!
Fantastic result for Buhari.
This is what I was saying before the elections and some kids here were insulting.
I told them the Apc is stronger now in the SS than it was in 2015.
The results are showing that strength already.

Change is the constant thing in life... PDP got 1.2Million Votes in Delta and APC got just 48,000 in 2015.. But see the Difference between the 2 Parties just 4 years after....

it is finished... Atiku political career has mirrored that of IBB.

From the result, Urhobos/Isoko voted for APC more compared to Igbos/Ijaw
Btw, this is an insult to the word "Trouncing"

Its more than 25%... Its good to know that South-South are wiser now.

totally expected

This one is strong ooo... Sai baba till 2023 jooor

4+4 !!!

I SAID IT YESTERDAY THAT RESULTS FROM LGAs IN DELTA CENTRAL WILL REDUCE THE GAP BETWEEN ATIKU AND BUHARI IN DELTA STATE. BUHARI WON 2 LGAs CLEARLY OUT OF 8 IN DELTA CENTRAL. HE LOST WITH SMALL MARGINS IN THE REMAINING SIX. THE POPULARITY OF OGBORU AND RUGGEDNESS OF OMOAGEGE HAS GREATLY STRENGHTEN APC IN DELTA CENTRAL SENATORIAL DISTRICT. IBE KACHIKWU AND OTHER APC LEADERS IN DELTA NORTH ARE NOT COMMITED ENOUGH OR THEY DON'T HAVE THE STRENGHT TO OPPOSE AND REDUCE THE PDP RIGGING MACHINARY IN DELTA NORTH. IF NOT, APC SHOULD DO NETTER THAN THIS IN DELTA STATE. THERE WERE REPORTS OF MASSIVE RIGGING IN DELTA NORTH AND DELTA SOUTH WHERE ATIKU GOT THE FIGURES. EVEN WITH THAT, BUHARI STILL GOT ABOUT 37 PERCENT OF THE VOTES OWING TO THE RESULTS FROM THE LGAs IN DELTA CENTRAL. OGBORU AND OMOAGEGE HAS DONE WELL FOR BUHARI. KUDOS.

as expected

Election Comedy Update

- Atiku lost in his PU, but won in Aso Rock PU.

- Buhari lost in Aso Rock PU but won in his Daura PU.

From these results it appears to me Atiku is seriously needed in Aso Rock, while PMB is seriously needed in Daura.

What do you think?���

Sai south south!!!
These guys are getting smarter by the day.

Certain idiots wanted to paint Atiku as a savior to me before the elections. Let's just say if I had a gun. After enduring Buhari's 4 years of slowness, una come want make we suffer another full 8 years of another version of bad governance? Abeg make baba finish him remaining 4 years then clear road. At least by then, his socialist policies would have taken hold. Person wey no like am, make e go kill him mama. Simple.

Sai baba next level 99.99%

Hhfufudxd

Yes! 4+4 is a Gooooal

Jonatham won with over a million votes in 2015. Now you see how Atiku failed?

Up Atiku!!! SE/SS should not complain at all if they are completely marginalised... They are getting 0% this time around.... Sebi una knw how to play the politics of bitterness ni

I said it delta will shock people

If the IGBO are the problem of Nigeria, then they should be kicked out of the country and get their own country .
