Following the compilation of the governorship election results, tensions in Yenagoa have risen around the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters continued to block the road leading to the office, dancing and singing in unison.

Results are currently being compiled for the Southern Ijaw and Brass local government regions.

The APC candidate won Brass LGA, the first to be revealed when collation resumed today.

In Brass, Sylva polled 18, 431 while Governor Douye Diri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored 12,602.

So far, Diri has won five of the eight local government areas in the state while Sylva cliched two LGAs.

Kuta, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University Of Technology, Minna, is expected to announce the winner of the poll upon the conclusion of collation today.

Sixteen political parties sponsored candidates for the election in Bayelsa. However, many analysts have described the contest as a two-horse race between Sylva and Diri, who is seeking re-election.

Sylva is a former Minister of State For Petroleum Resources and an ex-governor of the state. He was first Bayelsa governor from May 2007 to April 2008 and later between May 2008 and January 2012.

So far, Diri has won five of the eight local government areas in the state while Sylva cliched two LGAs.
