Bayelsa State governorship election results from the local governments, as announced by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), have started coming in.

Concise News had earlier reported latest governorship election results from polling units and wards.

Forty-five candidates are running for the highest office in the south-southern state, with electorates expected to vote in the 8 local government areas (LGAs) that make up the 23-year-old State.

But the battle, based on available results, show that David Lyon, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Duoye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the frontrunners.

Lyon is a businessman and oil magnate, while Diri is the senator representing Bayelsa Central senatorial district of Bayelsa state at the Nigerian 9th National Assembly.

And for the first time since 1999, it seems as though the PDP will be usurped.

We bring you live updates of the official Bayelsa governorship election results as announced by INEC officials.
