The All Progressives Congress (APC) has won all 21 chairmanship and 239 councillorship seats in the local government elections held in Kogi State on Saturday.
The Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC), which conducted the polls, announced the results after collating votes at its Lokoja headquarters.
Declaring the results, KOSIEC Chairman Mamman Nda-Eri said the ruling party clinched every chairmanship and councillorship position across the state’s 21 LGAs and 239 wards.
He described the exercise as peaceful and credible, adding that it followed electoral guidelines.
Nda-Eri also commended security agencies, election observers, journalists and voters for their orderly conduct during the polls.
According to the KOSIEC chairman, the elections marked the end of the 13 activities the commission lined up for the 2026 council polls, a process that began nearly a year ago.
He said the winners would receive their Certificates of Return in due course.
The current chairmen and councillors, sworn in on October 23, 2024, are expected to vacate office this month as their two-year tenure expires, in line with the state’s electoral law.
