The agents including APC and PDP refused to accept the announcement of results unless their complaints were addressed.

Speaking to the News Agency of  Nigeria (NAN), the PDP agent, Mr Aderemi Adeshina, claimed that some voters were disenfranchised in some polling units in the LGA.

Adeshina, also claimed that results recorded in some units after the elections were not transmitted through the BVAS machine.
