The Chairman of the Kogi State Independent Electoral Commission (KOSIEC), Mamman Nda Eri, announced the results at the commission’s secretariat in Lokoja.

Speaking after the announcement, Eri emphasised that elections should not be seen as battles between enemies but as democratic contests among citizens with a shared destiny.

The KOSIEC chairman urged residents to remain peaceful, law-abiding and united to accelerate the state’s development.

According to him, the election has produced representatives who now face the greater responsibility of building stronger communities and improving the living conditions of the people.
