The All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, is dead.
He died on Sunday, shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the state governorship election as inconclusive.
A source close to the ex-Kogi governor confirmed his death on Sunday.
The APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, told The Nation, the party is trying to establish contact with the deceased’s family.
Audu was on the verge of a sensational return to the Kogi Government House before INEC ordered a supplementary election in some local government areas because of perceived irregularities.
Over 49, 000 votes were cancelled by the electoral commission.
Before the announcement, Audu was leading his closest challenger, Idris Wada, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 240, 867 votes to 199, 514.
