The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Action Peoples Party in Lagos State have rejected outcomes of the Saturday’s Local Government Elections in the state,saying the outcomes did not reflect the will of residents.

Officials of both parties spoke with news men on Sunday.

News Men report that APC won all 57 chairmanship seats and 375 out of 376 councillorship seats in the council election held on Saturday, according to the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).

Reacting, Chief Sunday Olaifa, the PDP Deputy Chairman (Lagos West), told NAN the results of the election were manipulated to favour APC, saying the ruling party did not win as claimed.

Olaifa said: “PDP in Lagos State rejects in totality the outcome of July 12 council elections in the state. It is nothing but a mockery of democracy going by the manipulations and scenes of inducement of voters that we saw.

“For a party that has been in power for over 20 years under various names to depend on rigging before winning a local government election, shows the party is already rejected.

“APC didn’t win that election. The election didn’t hold in many polling units and results were written.

“For instance, at Ajao Estate of Isolo LCDAs, out of 36 polling units, till the close of the election, LASIEC officers were not in about 22 polling units.This happened in few other areas.”

Olaifa, who noted that the process leading into the election was flawed with many candidates not cleared, said that the election fell short of all known democratic standards.

The PDP chieftain said that the ruling party would be rejected in 2027 general elections given the”true outcome” of the council polls.
