Alfa polled 57, 575 votes to defeat five others. The election held in 236 of the 1,080 polling units.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) did not participate in the rerun due to an Appeal Court judgment which prohibited it from fielding a candidate.
Returning Officer Prof. Lucky Ovwhasa said only 140, 297 of the 643,559 registered voters participated in the election.
