Prof. Yahaya Tanko of Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto, the INEC Returning Officer for the election, said Tudu polled 23,874 votes to win the election, after the supplementary election.
“The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Dan-Kande Bello, polled 16,546 votes, while Mr. Ibrahim Tudu of the PDP scored 23,874 votes and he has been declared elected, “Yahaya said.
The state PDP Chairman Alhaji Tukur Dan-Fulani who spoke to journalists shortly after the pronouncement urged the winner to justify his victory by being a good ambassador of the party.
The APC had on Tuesday declared that the supplementary election was spurned, even after it was announced inconclusive on Saturday.
Mr. Ibrahim Birnin-Magaji the state Publicity Secretary of the party said at a briefing that the party was pulling out because it had lost confidence in INEC and security agencies in the state.
