Supplementary poll will be conducted in the affected areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the final result of the state House of Assembly election in Bayelsa State.
At the final count, the Peoples Democratic party (PDP retained 15 seats, while the All Progressive Congress (APC) won five seats.
Meanwhile, Brass 1, Ogbia II and Southern Ijaw IV constituencies were declared inconclusive due to alleged hijacking of ballot boxes and other forms of electoral irregularities.
Supplementary poll will be conducted in the affected areas.
The Ogbia Constituency II is where former President Goodluck Jonathan voted.
The result showed that the APC, which had one seat in the State House of Assembly in 2015, has increased the number to four out of the 24 members in the state Assembly.
Those who emerged as APC State Assembly members-elect are Wilson Ayakpo (Ekeremor II), Edward Irigha (Nembe II), Douglas Samson (Membership III) and Ominous Ayonatimiyo (Brass II).
The PDP, however, returned four members of the state House of Assembly including the Deputy Speaker, Abraham Ngobere (Brass III) and Honourable Tonye Isenah (Kolga II) for the third term, while the duo of Honourable Ben Ololo (Nembe I), Koku Obiya (Yenagoa II) were returned for a second term.
However, APC supporters in Southern Ijaw Constituency IV have expressed confidence that the party would win in the expected supplementary poll due to the 2,501 lead declared in favour of Dr. Selekaye Victor-Ben, its candidate in Olodiama I, II, Apoi and Foropa. Votes in Ukubie and Koluama were cancelled.
The newly elected members for the PDP include the former Chairman of the Ijaw Youth Council (Central Zone), Barrister Tari Porri, the former Chairman of Southern Ijaw Local Government Council, and Special Adviser to the Bayelsa Governor on Oil and Gas, Honourable Bonny Ayah.
Wilfred Ifogah, INEC Head of Department, Voter Education and Publicity in the state, has however, explained that the reason for declaring three constituencies inconclusive was due to failure to follow the INEC regulations and guidelines for the conduct of the 2019 elections.
"Twenty-one results fully declared and winners returned while three were declared inconclusive with due reference to INEC regulations and guidelines for the conduct of 2019 general election: Clause 10 (10), mandatory use of smart card readers, Clause 28 (b) collation at ward level and clause 43 (b), careful review of activities by the management team informed by the reports as stated by the collation officers and returning officers duly appointed," he stated.
He noted that the commission would, in due time, inform stakeholders in the state of the new date to conduct supplementary elections in the three affected constituencies.
