The APC had defeated PDP at Atiku’s polling unit during the presidential and National Assembly elections two weeks ago.

The PDP was by early Saturday evening also leading comfortably at polling units around the New Government House in Jimeta where Governor Mohammed Jibrilla Bindow has his office.
The PDP had led in all the six voting points announced as at press time, while results gleaned from the remaining two voting points similarly indicated that PDP had more votes than its closest contender, the APC.
