Result of Taraba State Supplementary Governorship Election 2015

.. Expectations by Nigerians that history would be made at this year’s general election with the country getting its first female governor ever has been effectively dashed.


The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Taraba, Aisha Al-Hassan, who put up a strong showing in the well-fought race, has now reached the end of the road.

At the end of collation of votes for Saturday’s supplementary election in the state, Ms. Al-Hasan got 13,599 votes to trail the Peoples Democratic Party’s Darius Ishiaku, who garnered 53,120 votes.

Two weeks ago, the election was declared inconclusive because the margin of Mr. Ishiaku’s victory was lower than the number of registered voters in areas where elections either did not hold or were cancelled due to irregularities.
