See How APC Reacted To David Mark's Victory At The Benue South Rerun Poll

The All Progressives Congress has congratulated a former President of the Senate, David Mark, for his victory in the Benue South Senatorial rerun election held Saturday. Mark was declared winner early Sunday morning amid protest by his main challenger. The former senate president scored 84,192 votes, leaving a margin of 12,571 votes between him and Mr. Onjeh, who garnered 71,621 votes. A total of 29,273 votes were cancelled.
After Mr. Mark was declared winner by INEC, Mr. Onjeh’s agent protested, saying the number of cancelled votes (29,273) was higher than the margin of win (12,571). He therefore contended that the election should have been declared inconclusive. But despite the protest by its own candidate, the APC congratulated Mr. Mark, in what appears an endorsement of the result declared by INEC. The party through it's twitter handle @APCNigeria on Sunday said, "Congratulations to Senator David Mark, who has just been declared winner, Benue South Senatorial rerun election."
