Dr. Ben Ango, who led the LP team, walked out of the College of Education, Akwanga collation centre alongside other party members shortly after collation for the three LGAs in the district was completed.
The protest came immediately after officials finished collating results from Akwanga, Nasarawa Eggon and Wamba LGAs that make up the Nasarawa North Senatorial District. INEC officials were said to be computing the figures ahead of the final declaration.
Dr. Ango did not speak to reporters before leaving the venue, but LP officials at the centre expressed dissatisfaction with the collation process.
The by-election is being held to fill the seat of the late Senator Godiya Akwashiki. INEC is expected to announce the final result after computation of the collated figures from the three LGAs.
LP candidate Maku Labaran had also alleged BVAS malfunctions and ballot irregularities in some polling units during voting.
With this declaration, Envwulanza is expected to proceed to the National Assembly to represent Nasarawa North Senatorial District.
