In the statement by the commission, the only concluded election was in Yabo-Shagari federal constituency where Umar Yabo of the Peoples Democratic Party defeated the incumbent member, representing the area and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Umar.
Yabo scored 24,792 votes while the APC candidate got 22,497 votes.
