The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC) has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the clear victor in all 21 local government chairmanship races and 239 councillorship positions in the election held on Saturday.

KOSIEC Chairman, Mr. Mamman Nda-Eri, announced the results in Lokoja, calling the election peaceful, free, and fair. He highlighted that the APC secured all available seats, defeating candidates from the other 18 political parties that participated.
