PDP's Natasha Akpoti loses Kogi central senatorial seat to APC candidate

The All Progressive Congress's (APC) Abubakar Sadiku-Ohere defeated PDP candidate Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in the Kogi central senatorial district election, which was held last Saturday.

On February 28, in the Okene region of the state, Rotimi Ajayi, the INEC returning officer for the Kogi central senatorial district, announced the outcome.

According to Ajayi, Sadiku-Ohere defeated Natasha, who received 51,763 votes, by receiving 52,132 votes.

The announcement comes after Akpoti-Uduaghan accused the Kogi government of attempting to deny voters in the state their right to vote by excavating a road near Ihima, Okehi LGA, prior to the election.
