Nigerians React To Female Candidate In Taraba
The Taraba state governorship election was one of the more difficult to predict of the recent state elections.
Unlike in many other states, it was not evident who would emerge winner of the polls. Analysts had predicted that the competition would be quite tough between the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.
But more interestingly, it was the first time in the history of the country that a woman, Aisha Al-Hassan of the APC, had the chance to emerge the governor.
On April 13, Monday, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the April 11 polls in the state inconclusive, because the total number of votes rejected and cancelled were more than the total vote with which the PDP’s Darius Ishaku led Al-Hassan of the APC.
The PDP polled 317,198 votes, while the APC received 262,386. PDP loyalists were disappointed with the INEC announcement of the cancellation, while APC supporters received new hope.
