Kaduna PDP queries INEC's silence on election petition
The Kaduna State PDP queries INEC's silence on alleged electoral irregularities in gubernatorial elections; demands the release of the authentic results. The party claims that INEC's quietness may be connivance with the ruling party to subvert justice and deny the people of Kaduna their right to choose a leader. 

According to the PDP Chairman, the party submitted a petition to the National Headquarters as Section 82 of the Electoral Law allows them to seek redress within seven days of the election. He added that the party demanded that INEC should re-conduct another election as the margin of victory was less than the total number of cancelled votes.

The Chairman further explained that the PDP in Kaduna State seeks to address the alleged electoral irregularities in a civilised way. He emphasised that the party remained law-abiding and made it clear to INEC that the public has a right to know the authentic result as transmitted by the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for the sake of fairness and justice.

The March 18 gubernatorial election in Kaduna State was won by Uba Sani of the APC who scored 730,002 votes to defeat Isa Ashiru of the PDP with 719,196 votes, according to INEC. However, the PDP has raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the election, leading to the submission of a petition to the electoral body.

The party's query on INEC's silence on the alleged irregularities highlights the importance of transparency in the electoral process. The public's trust in electoral bodies is crucial for the legitimacy of democratic processes. The PDP's demand for the release of the authentic result is a call for INEC to be transparent and accountable, and to uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

As the PDP in Kaduna State seeks redress in a civilised way, INEC needs to respond to the party's petition and address the concerns raised about the gubernatorial election. This will ensure that justice is served and the people of Kaduna State can have confidence in the electoral process.
