The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Isah Ashiru Kudan, in the just concluded election, has vowed to recover his mandate in court.
Ashiru, who expressed confidence in the judiciary, said he won’t leave any stone unturned to retrieve his mandate because “it’s the people’s mandate.”
KOKO TV reports that the state INEC Collation Officer, Prof. Lawal Suleiman Bilbis, had announced that the APC governorship candidate polled 730,002 votes against his closest rival, Ashiru, who scored 719,196 votes.
The Labour Party governorship candidate, Jonathan Asake, polled 58,283 to come third while the New Nigeria Peoples Party candidate, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, came a distant fourth with 21,405 votes while rejected votes stood at 19,114.
