He, however, reported that many of the local government returning officers complained of attacks by either bandits or hoodlums leading to the rejection of a total of 18,785 votes across 14 local government areas of the state.

Bala called on all the political party representatives present to endorse the results, after which he proceeded to Abuja for submission at the national collation centre.
