The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has said they are still studying the result of the Saturday presidential and National Assembly election after which they would make their position known.
The party stated this in a statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary and Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, for the 2023 State Campaign Management Committee, Bemgba Iortyom, and made available to newsmen in Makurdi.
The statement read in part: “The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State views the results from last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections with dissatisfaction owing to reported cases of widespread irregularities across the state.
“The party’s agents in various polling units in the state have furnished its Situation Centre with reports of serial malpractices and breaches of the Electoral Act during and after the course of voting.
“The party has, consequently, directed its Legal Department to study those reports pursuant to it adopting a position as will protect its interests and guarantee the rights of its members to have their votes count in a free and fair election.
“This position the party will make known very soon,” the statement said.
