Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Saturday’s Benue State governorship election, Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has been declared winner of the election on Monday.
Alia garnered 473,933 votes to defeat his closest challenger and candidate of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), Titus Uba, who scored 223,913 votes.
Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Herman Hembe, recorded 41,881 votes.
Meanwhile, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had rescheduled the conduct of the governorship and State Assembly election in Kwande local government area of the State to Tuesday, March 21, 2023.
This decision followed an inadvertent mix-up of some of the sensitive materials for the two State Assembly constituencies in the area i.e. Kwande East and Kwande West.
