Declaring the results, the returning officer for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Professor Sani Saka at the collation center, said she polled 202, 175 votes to defeat her main challenger Senator Philip Aduda of PDP who scored 100, 544 votes while APC’s Zakari Angulu secured 78, 905 and candidate of NNPP got 3, 802 votes.
In an apparent u-turn, the returning officer said only the result of the Abaji area council remained canceled now as he certified the Bwari area council result after rejecting it earlier citing irregularities in the figures.
