“The winner of the exercise is Alia. Having scored the highest vote cast. I declare him as the winner,” Mr Lado said.

Mr Alia’s candidature was later ratified by members of the party through a voice vote.

The party chairman, Austin Agada had put a question to members seeking to know whether the result was a true reflection of what transpired in the field and they answered in the affirmative.

“Having ratified Alia’s candidature, I therefore, declare that Alia is the governorship candidate of the party in Benue,’’ Agada said.
