The results announced at the various polling units across Jos South, Jos East, Barkinladi , Mikang and Shendam local government areas show that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP is leading the polls in Plateau State.

However, voters at the Turaki/Yandoka and other Bauchi Road polling units,which are in the muslim dominated areas of Jos North local government area showed preference for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the CPC, according to early results.

Plateau Governor, Jonah David Jang told a group of journalists after casting his vote at the Ladura Du polling unit at Jos South that he was happy about the massive turn out and that he was sure that Plateau will deliver the maximum votes to President Jonathan.

Jang asserted ” we have promised to deliver the highest number of votes in the north to Jonathan in Plateau and you can observe that we are almost on the verge of achieving that.”

Some voters interviewed at Jos South and Jos metropolis were equally optimistic that their votes will count in favour of Jonathan .

Meanwhile as at 5 p.m most polling units across the metropolitan Jos north and Jos South were still being counted.
