He was followed by Godwin Meliga of the PDP with 1,038 votes and Egene Joseph Ugbede of the APM with 445 votes, while Amos Ahaiba of the ADC got 141 votes.

He also announced Rilwan Mudi of the SDP scoring 85 votes, while Yakubu Ugbede of the AA party got 16 votes.
The election, which was relatively peaceful, was, however, marred by low turnout and voters’ apathy.
