On a historic day in the beautiful state of Benue, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia emerged as the winner of the APC Governorship Rerun Primaries with a staggering 219,002 votes, as announced in a wide broadcast by the Rerun Electoral Committee.

Despite the challenges posed by the scorching sun and hash weather conditions yesterday, 227,833 voters came out to cast their vote, making it a truly remarkable event.
It will be recalled that the APC first conducted governorship rerun primaries on 9th June, 2022, as witnessed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and declared Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia as the authentic winner.
Fr. Alia went into yesterday’s rerun with victories already in 12 LGAs of Benue State, including Kwande, Konshisha, Ushongo, Buruku, Agatu, Ogbadibo, Oju Okpokwu, Apa, Ohimini Obi, and Ado, with a total of 195,314 votes.
Having scored 195,314 votes in 12 LGAs on the 9th of June, 2022, and 219,002 votes in 11 LGAs on the 2nd of February, 2023, with a combined total of 414,316 votes, he was thereby declared the winner of the rerun primaries and the overall winner of the primaries conducted in the 23 LGAs of Benue State, having scored the highest number of votes cast.
