The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Mrs. Ireti Kingibe of the Labour Party (LP) as the winner of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senate seat.
INEC Returning Officer, Prof. Sanni Saka announced the result on Tuesday in Abuja.
Saka said that Ireti scored 202,175 votes to emerge winner, adding that Mr. Philip Aduda of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came second with 100,544 votes, while Mr. Angulu Dobi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) placed third with 78,905 votes.
Saka said that the problem with the Bwari result that was earlier cancelled was rectified and the result certified as valid.
