In this piece, IDRIS ADESINA examines the unfolding intrigues trailing the inconclusive legislative elections in six state constituencies of Kogi
Despite the governorship election not holding in the north-central state of Kogi, the race over which party controls the majority of the 25 seats in the state House of Assembly has intensified between the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. The battleground for the control of the majority in the House is located in the inconclusive legislative elections into five state constituencies of the parliament. It will be recalled that elections did not also hold in Dekina II state constituency.
Although the PDP presently occupies the majority of seats in the House, the gale of defections which hit the party in the state in 2014 has made it easy for other parties to stake a claim to legislative seats with the APC benefitting more as the largest opposition in the state.
