Unofficial results filtering out
of Bayelsa State are indicative of a major political upset in the state as
opposition All Progressives Congress appears to be ahead of the Peoples
Democratic Party, at least in the capital.
The PDP has been in control of
the state since 1999. Recent shifts in political affiliations by political
actors appear set to change the narrative.
In early results, the APC
candidate, David Lyon is leading the PDP candidate Duoye Diri.
Results declared in Yenagoa, the
capital showed APC in early lead, based on results declared at the polling
units.
Some results:
Atissa ward 1, unit 9, Yenagoa
LGA
PDP – 77 APC – 94
Ikibiri unit 2, Yenagoa LGA
PDP – 51 APC – 108
Agudama-Epie, ward 4, unit 12,
Yenagoa LGS

The APC also recorded massive
lead in Nembe ward 3, unit 2, with its governorship candidate, David Lyon
polling 1,000 votes against the 22 votes recorded by the candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Douye Diri.
The PDP’s brightest spot so far
has come from Governor Henry Seriake Dickson’s polling unit 5 in Oriewari ward
in Toro-Orua Sagbama LGA where the PDP recorded 1906 votes to defeat the All
Progressives Congress, APC with only 5 votes.
Governor Dickson has expressed
surprise that the APC is bashing his party at some polling units and he has
accused INEC of conniving with APC to rig his PDP out.
