Bayelsa Election: PDP Set to Win Uncontested Poll Marred by Voter Apathy
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Bayelsa State local government election, held on Saturday, unfolded with a mixed bag of results. While the polls were largely peaceful across the state’s eight local government areas and 105 wards, there were concerns about voter apathy and logistical issues.

Despite the peaceful atmosphere, many voters chose not to participate in the election. This low turnout was a significant concern. Additionally, reports emerged from several areas, including Yenagoa, Sagbama, and Ekeremor, that voting materials and electoral personnel arrived late at polling stations. These delays could have further discouraged voters and potentially affected the fairness of the process.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the current ruling party in Bayelsa, expressed confidence in their performance. Governor Douye Diri praised the electoral commission for their handling of the polls and predicted a PDP sweep, citing the party’s strong showing in the previous gubernatorial election. Deputy Governor Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo echoed this sentiment, highlighting PDP’s dominance in his home area of Sagbama.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), the main opposition party in Bayelsa, boycotted the polls altogether. This boycott raised questions about the legitimacy and fairness of the entire process, particularly for those who might have preferred an alternative to the PDP.

With the polls concluded, the official results are yet to be announced. While the PDP leadership is optimistic about a clean sweep, the low voter turnout and the absence of a strong challenger make the outcome less predictable. The logistical issues also raise concerns about the overall credibility of the election.

What’s Next?: The coming days will be crucial as Bayelsa awaits the official results. The PDP’s performance and the validity of the election, given the low turnout and APC boycott, will be closely scrutinized. These local government polls will determine the leadership at the grassroots level for the next term, impacting how communities are governed and resources are allocated.
