News “Sen. David Mark Wins Benue
South Re-run Election”

Senator David Mark has dismissed
call by the All Progressive Congress
for the just concluded Benue South
senatorial rerun to be declared
inconclusive. Mr Mark won with a
margin of 12,571, polling 84, 192

government areas, Onjeh won in
four. The APC had called for the

Speaking with newsmen this on
Sunday morning after observing a
brief Sunday service at his Otukpo
residence, Mark said:-

“ INEC has declared and there is
nothing they can do about it. ”

He used the opportunity to thank
the indigenes of the Idoma nation
urging them to support him to
further uplift the region. It is your
collective support and effort that I
want. David Mark alone cannot
uplift the Idoma nation.

Election has come and gone. I have
won and I have put that behind me.

I’m thinking of our to better our
lives than it was yesterday,” he
said. Meanwhile, celebration is
currently going on at his residence
as hundreds of supporters were
seen dancing, singing.
