Election results announced so far by the Independent National Electoral Commission in the Kogi West senatorial rerun election show that PDP’s Dino Melaye is poised to lose his seat in the Senate to his closest rival, Smart Adeyemi of the APC.

Of the seven local government areas in the senatorial district, five have been announced.

Of the five local government results announced, Mr Adeyemi has polled a total of 52,389 while Mr Melaye trails with 37,856.

The former won in all of Kaba Bunnu, Kogi Koton Karfe, Mopa Muro and Ijumu. Mr Melaye, however, scooped the highest votes in one LGA, Yagba East LGA.

Messrs Adeyemo and Delays are both from Ijumu

With the sail in Mr Adeyemi’s favour, Mr Melaye needs to cover up for the deficit of 14,533 votes in the two remaining local government areas that are yet to be announced by INEC.

These local government areas are Yabgba West and Lokoja LGAs.

The elections in Kogi West, like in a large part of the state, was characterized by violence.

Below is the breakdown of how both candidates fared in the five local governments announced so far.

Dino won but he has been rigged out at collation level and will be asked to go to Buharis court to appeal

Somebody that was so sick to go to court is so healthy to participate in an election that is so energy and time-consuming in Nigeria. It is well.

Use your MelesZenawi moniker .

Is this the fall of the 'ajekun iya' crooner?

Saraki welcoming Dino to the club of Ex senators....

In as much as Dino, Saraki, atiku and a whole lot were part of the group that helped bring in buhari and mocked Gej, i don't feel sorry for them. All I want is to get visa and relocate since the youths don't want to have sense and do what their mates in chile and Iraq are doing.

Celebrity senator Dino will be highly missed in the Senate

Is this the end of Dino political career

But me I thought Adeyemi is not Smart...

Really learning with Nigeria politics oo. From Akpabio to Saraki to Ambode and now Dino and Dickson......

shut your mouth if u don't have any meaningful comments to contribute, majority of you commenting here are not from Kogi state and even though you are from Kogi, I believe that you don't have a PVC to effect the change you are advocating for.....
