The Cross River chapters of APC and PDP have openly asserted their readiness to approach yet-to-be constituted Election Petitions Tribunal following the outcome of the Akpabuyo state Assembly and Ogoja/Yala federal constituency by-elections held on Saturday.
Eventhough the exercise was concluded on Sunday , the last has not been heard about the well contested by-elections held in three LGAs of the state.
While the candidate of APC for Ogoja/Yala by-election, Chief Jude Ngaji, won with a total votes of 22,778, the PDP’s candidate, Mr. Mike Usibe was second with 20, 590 votes.
At Akpabuyo state constituency, PDP candidate, Dr Ekeng Edet Effiom, polled 5, 866 votes to defeat APC’s candidate, Ekpo Bassey, who scored 5, 363 votes.
Both parties have however congratulated their candidates for their victory at the polls, but rejected the outcomes in the constituencies they lost, pointing out some irregularities in the process and vowing to do the needful in the coming days ahead.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the publicity secretary of APC, Mr. Erasmus Ekpang, he said the party totally rejects the election results of the Akpabuyo state constituency bye-election based on series of irregularities.
