The incumbent governor of Taraba
State and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Darius Ishaku, is
currently enjoying a clear lead in the governorship election held on Saturday
in the state.
With 12 local governments already
declared from the 16 that make up Taraba State, the PDP candidate has majority
votes in nine local governments while the All Progressive Congress (APC)
candidate, Sani Danladi, has emerged tops in the three other LGAs.
Predictably, the biggest vote for
the PDP candidate is coming from Takum LGA where the present governor hails
from.
The PDP in Takum LGA recorded
50,562 votes compared to APC’s 14,014.
The Returning Officer for
governorship election in Gassol LGA, Clement Anake, while announcing the
results for governorship election said APC got 46,385 votes while PDP got
28,182 votes, just as UDP also secured 1,577 votes.
