Governor Seriake Dickson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won the Bayelsa supplementary governorship poll following official results collated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), today, January 10.
Dickson won seven out of the eight local governments in the South south state defeating Chief Timipre Sylva of the All Progvressives Congress (APC) after a keenly contested election.
Merged with the result of the December 5, 2015 election, Dickson polled a total number of 134, 998 votes, while Sylva polled 86,852 votes.
Results have so far been announced in all the local governments where supplementary elections were conducted.
Before commencing collation of the results, INEC had advised Nigerians to disregard results being posted on social media.
A statement from INEC reads: “Fake results are being released via the social media. Those figures are not from us.
“Authentic results will be announced once we get them from the field.”
