The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the governorship results of the Egor and Akoko Edo local governments won by the All Progressives Congress.

Rejecting the results, the PDP agent, Osagbovo Iyoha, alleged irregularities in the collation.

He alleged that INEC manufactured the result in favour of APC and that the collation centre was moved to another place instead of the council headquarters, Daily Trust reported.

He said the PDP won Egor local government but APC was declared the winner, claiming that the PDP agents were locked out of the collation centre, leaving only the agents of the APC.

He also alleged that the result of Akoko-Edo local government was manufactured as the votes cast were above the one captured by BVAS.

Responding, the APC acting chairman Jarret Tenabe, said the votes were a reflection of the will of the people.

On Akoko-Edo, he said all the issues in the election were dealt with during results collation and that the votes declared reflected what was captured in the BVAS.

The collation is ongoing at the INEC head office in Benin.
