PDP ROUTS BUHARI, ANPP

Contrary to expectations, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) underscored its supremacy in the Northern states over General Muhammadu Buhari's Congress for Progressive Change CPC and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP).

The ruling party proved bookmakers wrong by clinching many Federal Constituency and Senatorial district seats in states, which the CPC and ANPP were believed would have smooth runs.

In Kano for instance, PDP snatched two senatorial seats, leaving the ANPP with the remaining seat PDP also recorded victory in 11 Federal constituencies ANPP won eight and CPC two.

The ruling party also made a clean sweep of six of the results declared so far in Sokoto State as at press time out of 11. PDP looks set to retain its majority in the National; Assembly with the results declared so far. Besides giving the main opposition parties in the North West the run for their money, the ruling party hade a convincing victory in North Central, winning all the three senatorial seats in Kwara, Kogi and two in Benue with the east result still being awaited.

In the South South PDP won all senatorial and Federal constituency seats declared so far in Rivers and won two senatorial districts in Akwa Ibom, while one seat is outstanding. The South East governors fulfilled their vow to deliver the zone to the PDP, which won majority National Assembly seats in the geo-political area.

However, the duo of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Labour Party (LP) reversed victories recorded by the PDP in the last general elections in the zone.
