Bauchi LG Election Results Contested By PRP

The Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has condemned the local government elections held across the state on Saturday, calling it an “electoral heist” disguised as a democratic process…… CONTINUE READING 

In a statement issued by State Secretary Abdulazeez Haruna, the PRP accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Bauchi State Independent Electoral Commission (BASIEC), and the state chapter of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) of orchestrating the election fraud. The party alleged that the election was a prearranged scheme designed to undermine democratic principles.

The PRP criticized the manipulation of the electoral process, which it claimed reduced democratic practices to authoritarianism. The party asserted that instead of being decided by popular vote, elective positions were distributed among a coalition of undemocratic forces.

The statement expressed dismay that IPAC, intended to promote democratic integrity, instead catered to the self-serving interests of a few individuals. It alleged that the State Chairman of IPAC, who is also the State Chairman of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), his deputy from the Young Progressive Party (YPP), and an associate from the African Action Congress (AAC), were each awarded a councillorship seat in exchange for their roles in facilitating the electoral fraud.

The PRP claimed that the PDP won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats, depriving the people of Bauchi State of their right to vote for their preferred candidates. The party described the situation as a grave injustice and a mockery of democracy.

The PRP warned that those involved in the electoral manipulation would face consequences and called on civil society organizations and progressive individuals to unite in condemning the “electoral heist” and defending the democratic system from such abuses.
