A former lawmaker representing Kogi West, Senator Dino
Melaye, has lost the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to a serving House
Representatives member, Hon. T.J Yusuf.
Recall that there was a deadlock in the Kogi West PDP
Senatorial primary election where Dino Melaye scored 88 and TJ Yusuf polled 88
votes, which led to a rerun election on Tuesday.
In the rerun election conducted on Tuesday, Hon. T. J. Yusuf
defeated Sen. Dino Melaye by 163 to 99 votes to pick the PDP ticket
Yusuf, while speaking after he was declared the winner,
extended the olive branch to his co-contestants, urging hem to join hands with
him to win the general election.
He commended the peaceful conduct of the primaries,
promising to continue with his good work if elected at the general election.
