The People Democratic Party, PDP, has won the Gombe State House of Assembly bye-election in Dukku north constituency.

The election was conducted on Saturday by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, following the death of Gambo Kabade of the PDP on June 29.

Although the election was contested by seven parties, it was expected to be a close race between the governing PDP in Gombe and the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Announcing the result in the Government Girl Secondary School Malala at midnight on Sunday, the Returning Officer, Mohammed Sa’idu said Sa’idu Malala of PDP was elected with 7060 votes.

The APC candidate, A. Inuwa, got 4022 votes.

The returning officer declared Mr. Malala of PDP the winner having scored the highest votes and defeated his six other contestants.

Other parties that contested the election include Accord Party with eight votes, Action Alliances with eight votes, ADPN with 31 votes, GPN with 29 votes and LP with 29.

The returning officer also said elections at three polling units at Malala ward were cancelled as the total votes cast was higher than total number of accredited voters there.

Ask God for understanding of the word

Before! Were you expecting the APC to win in Gombe?

Dankwambo's performance alone is enough to influence the outcome of the election. The man has espoused an expressed ideology and vision bolstered by a willingness to achieve specific goals.

It's good to see that the electorates rate him so highly.

The PDP should not pin their hopes on this one just yet. The good people of Gombe only voted for the party in solidarity with the governor. This should not be seen as signs of what's to come at the national level.

The success or failure of both the APC and PDP at the general elections will depend on the candidates they present. If the PDP presents an Atiku, Kwankwaso, Fayose, or any sort of person that is not of a kindly and likable disposition, they will fail woefully. Buhari does not inspire hope or excitement at this time, but those guys are cold and bland.

There's still all to do at this moment. Things do not look clear as yet.

I weep when i see some people/youths on this thread is yawning for PDP or APC. Do we really want better lives and secure a fruitful future for ourselves? why do we keep emulating these sets of people who do not care?

Gombe state is a PDP!!
