January 9, 2016 – The Bayelsa State governorship rerun election seems to have been won and lost as the People Democratic Party (PDP), is in a comfortable lead with sixty – two percent of the total vote cast across the state.
Already party chieftains are in celebration mood as PDP has chalked up a total of 11,567 of the 14,445 rerun votes, thereby leaving the major opposition party, All Progressive Congress (APC), with a mere 2,721 votes from the figures released so far.
Meanwhile, a close observation of the voting pattern in Bayelsa State, further makes victory almost certain for Hon. Seriake Dickson, who is set to break the two – tenure jinx.
So far Governor Dickson made a clean sweep of Amassoma, the home turn of the state’s first elected governor, late DSP Alamieseigha. A very close ally of the governor. He won 95 per cent percent of Sagbama votes, Ogbia and Yenagoa.
He is also in a vantage position ahead of Chief Timipre Sylva, thereby making victory almost certain for him.
