The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State has won all the chairmanship positions at the just-concluded local government (LG) council election held in the state on Saturday.

A total of six political parties contested for both chairmanship and councillorship positions in the 168 electoral wards across the 16 local government areas of the state.

The Chairman of the Taraba State Independent Electoral Commission, Philip duwe, declared that the PDP won all the chairmanship positions.

He, however, urged those aggrieved to approach the election petition tribunal to seek redress.

While the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for total cancellation of the election over alleged irregularities, the PDP asked the APC to resolve its internal wrangling before complaining about the outcome of the poll.

The newly elected chairmen of the 16 local government areas will be sworn-in on Monday with a view to granting fully the local government autonomy.
