Haruna Jatau, who represents the APC, objected to the election results presented by the collation officer, Zubairu Mohammed, citing election breaches in two polling units in the ward.
According to Jatau, there was overvoting in Zagabutu village, while in Huni village, voters were accredited manually instead of using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
“The APC rejects the election results from Gudun Karya,” he said.
Responding, the collation officer, Mohammed, denied the allegation, saying that BVAS was used for accreditation across Gudun Karya Ward.

He noted, however, that the results were later corrected to reflect what was captured by the BVAS.
Reacting to the situation, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) supervising Kuje Area Council, Abubakar Dambu, frowned at the cancellations on the result sheets.
