According to the source, the election which was marred by chaos and violence caused Ubi Franklin to leave the venue of the election.

It was also alleged that the returning officer was made to sign the returning sheet under duress and the APC officials in the constituency are currently holding a meeting which is likely to see an annulment of the results as they believe the election wasn’t free and fair.
