UPDATES ON BAYELSA ELECTION: APC Leading (Results)

*PDP's Dickson and APC's Sylva In Tight Race
*PDP Chairman Loses In Own Ward || *Dickson Defeated In Front of Government House

The political developments in Bayelsa in the last 24 hours since the commencement of the election for the office of Governor are quite interesting. OluFamous.Com has been following the details.

So far, Governor Seriake Dickson of the PDP and Chief Timipre Sylva of the APC appear to be running neck and neck in the December 5 governorship election in the state. 

More election results have started coming in from the polling units...

According to The Nation, collation of the results went far into the night and a clearer picture is expected to emerge from Sunday.

Early results showed that the PDP performed badly in some of the areas it considered its strongholds and this included the neighbourhood of Government House, Yenagoa.

At the Peace Park polling unit 10 close to the seat of power Sylva polled 58 votes to Dickson’s 27.

The PDP also lost to the APC in the wards of several of its notable leaders including party Chairman in the state, Chief Serena Dokubo (Brass LG) and the Deputy Majority leader in the State House of Assembly, Hon. Tonye Isenah (Kolokuma/Opokuma LGA).

Results from Ekeremor, Brass, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Nembe and Yenagoa Local Government Areas showed that Sylva had pulled ahead of Dickson, although the governor was on top in Sagbama Local Government area.

Results from Ogbia LGA showed a close race. There was no election in Wards 4 and 5 in Ogbia council area following security threat by supporters of the two major contending parties.
