The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday evening announced the result of the last area council in the Federal Capital Territory FCT Area Council election held on Saturday.
The result of the Kuje Area Council was earlier delayed as a result of disputes during the collation of results in two wards in the council.
However, on Sunday evening, INEC declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Danjuma Samuel Shekolo, winner of the chairmanship election.
The Chief Returning Officer, Professor Nkiruka Odoh, while announcing the result, stated that Shekolo polled 17,269 votes to defeat his closest rival, Danlami Zakoyi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored 15,824 votes.
