Kogi residents went to the poll on Saturday, November 11, 2023, to elect a governor who will succeed the incumbent, Yahaya Bello, come January 14, 2024.
However, the exercise was enmeshed in controversy from the get-go as some result sheets in wards in the Ogori/Magongo local government area of the state were said to have been pre-filled before the commencement of voting.
In response, the electoral umpire suspended elections in the nine affected wards on Saturday and said further communication would be made on the way forward.
