By Nuel Suji – The incumbent governor of Bayelsa State, Seriake Dickson, has been re-elected governor for a second term.
Dickson who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won his second-term bid having polled 139, 998 votes defeating his main rival and candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Timi Sylva who scored 82, 852 votes.
The PDP candidate in the Saturday re-run election has a comfortable lead with sixty-two percent of the total vote cast across the state.
In the re-run PDP won a total of 11,567 of the 14,445 of the re-run votes, thereby leaving the major opposition party, APC, with a mere 2,721 votes from the figures released so far.
With the very low turnout recorded, which was an apparent direct fall out of the violence that characterized the Southern Ijaw local government areas, Ekeremor and Nembe, there is no way APC will overtake the PDP with its over 40,000 lead.
.
Governor Dickson made a clean sweep of Amassoma, the home turn of the state’s first elected governor, late DSP Alamieseigha, a very close ally of the governor.
The governor won 95 percent percent of Sagbama votes, Ogbia and Yenagoa.
He is also in a vantage position ahead of Chief Timipre Sylva, thereby making victory almost certain for him.
