The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday held its ward delegates election to elect the three adhoc delegates across each of the 18 Local Government Areas and 192 wards in Edo State.
A statement by the State Organising Secretary of the party in Edo, Anthony Anenih, said that the electoral officers, who concluded the election, had handed over the results to the electoral committee set up by the National Working Committee of the party.
Mr Anenih noted that the process was observed by the Independent National Electoral Commission and various civil society groups.
He said that the election was reported to be mostly peaceful across the state with only one incident at Jattu, where eight of the officials heading to Etsako Central Local Government for the election were allegedly abducted.
He said, “The party hereby calls on the Inspector-General of Police to order a swift investigation of the incident and promptly ensure the release of the affected officials. The Edo State chapter of the PDP by this medium expresses profound gratitude to leaders of our great party.
“The National Working Committee expresses profound gratitude to the Ward Electoral Committee and organs of the party for their keen supervision of this process that has resulted in a successful ward delegate election.’’
