October 10, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described Saturday’s local government elections in Plateau as a rape of democracy.
The party’s state publicity secretary, John Akans, made the declaration on Sunday, while speaking with newsmen.
Fabian Ntung, the chairman of Plateau Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC), had announced that APC won all 17 chairmanships and 325 councillorship seats at the elections.
However, Akans, who described the outcome of the poll as a selection and appointment of APC members, said, the PDP’s next line of action would be made known on Monday.
PLASIEC had earlier barred the PDP from participating in the elections citing a judgment some members of the party secured against the leadership of the PDP in the state.
The PDP challenged its exclusion at the elections at the High Court and the Appeal Court but lost at both levels.
