    Announcing the results, the Returning Officer Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar said, “Yunusa Muhammed of the AAC, having satisfied the requirements of the law and scored the highest number of votes, is hereby declared winner and is returned elected.”

    In the Bogoro Local Government Area, the Labour Party received the highest votes in Lusa Ward, despite not fielding a candidate.
