LG Poll: LASIEC Picks August 7, For Councillorship Rerun Election in Agege LG | AgegePulse Magazine

 



By Ayodele Ifasakin

Following the inconclusiveness of the last Saturday councillorship that happened in Ward F, Agege, The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission has said, that there will be a Re-Run of the Councillorship election in Ward F between the All Progressives Congress Party and Peoples Democratic Party Councillorship Candidates on the 7th of August, 2021

Recall, This was as a result of the tie between the two Candidates where no winner was declared at the last concluded Lagos LG Polls.

AgegePulse gathered that, the requirements for a candidate to be returned as a winner were not met due to the tie between the Candidates according to Lasiec Collation Officer.

Aransi Ola Yussuf, Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), polled 784 Votes while Sakiru Motunrakin Akinwande, also polled 784 Votes in last election.


This election becomes necessary when the first election fails to produce a clear winner for the position of the Councillor. This will only involve just the two leading contenders.


According to electoral rules, a re-run will be so declared to have a clear winner that will represent the good People of Ward F at the Agege Local Government Legislative Chamber Agege Legislative Council

The question now is will the rerun give a record breaking chance to the PDP Candidate or will it be all APC affairs in the 9th Agege Legislative council
