The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Ismaila Mu’azu Hassan, has emerged the winner of Gombe State’s Akko Federal Constituency rerun election conducted on Wednesday 27, January 2016.
The Returning Officer, Sofeme Jebson, who announced the result in Kumo, said Hassan polled 21,094 votes, while Musa Danladi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) had 4,578 votes.
Salisu Babikir of African Democratic Congress (ADC) polled 723 votes while Haruna Adamu of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) garnered 448 votes.
The appeal court had in 2015 nullified the victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Umaru Kawuwa Barambu, because he did not properly defect from PDP.
Hassan expressed gratitude over his victory and assured that he will serve his constituency well.
