The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the governorship election in some states inconclusive.

In Jos, the Plateau State capital, Professor Richard Kimbir announced that the margin of a lead of 44,929 between the APC and the PDP candidates is less than 49,377 cancelled votes.

According to the returning officer, this constrains him to return a winner but rather declare the election inconclusive and bye-elections should hold in the affected areas.

Simon Lalong of APC was said to have pulled a total of 583,255 votes while Jerry Useni of PDP scored 538,326.
