Benue State, Nigeria - In a fiercely contested gubernatorial election, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has emerged victorious in his polling unit, ward, and local government and is on course for victory in Benue State. 

This is according to the official results uploaded on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Result Viewing Portal (IREV) after the conclusion of the election on Saturday, March 18, 2023.

The APC candidate defeated his main opponents, Titus Uba of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and Herman Hembe of the Labour Party (LP), in what was described as a keenly contested election.

According to the official results on the IREV portal, the APC candidate polled a total of 420 votes, while the PDP candidate got only 1 vote, and the LP candidate scored zero votes in Fr. Alia's polling unit in the governorship election.

Fr. Alia is also leading across the state by a wide margin, according to the official uploaded results on the IREV portal so far. As at the time of writing this report, 4312 out of the 5102 total polling units in Benue State were uploaded on the IREV portal, amounting to 84.52% of the total polling units in Benue State.

The APC candidate expressed his gratitude to the people of his polling unit and Benue for the confidence they have shown in him and pledged to work tirelessly to ensure that the people of Benue State enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Fr. Alia made this known shortly after casting his vote to a crowd of journalists and media houses that came to witness the governorship and house of assembly elections in his polling unit yesterday.

He equally commended the National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies for a seamless exercise.
