PDP to protest presidential election results at INEC office Monday

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will stage a protest on the outcome of last weekend’s presidential election at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja on Monday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the winner of the February 25 election after polling 8,794,726 votes to defeating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and 15 other candidates in the exercise.

The party had since rejected the INEC’s declaration and vowed to challenge the outcome of the election in court.

The Director of administration in the PDP presidential campaign council, Ibrahim Bashir, who confirmed the protest in a notice to party members on Sunday, urged them to appear at the party national secretariat in Abuja in black outfit.

The protest, according to him, will begin at 10:00 a.m.
