Senator Dino Melaye has lost his bid to vie for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Kogi West Senatorial District ticket at the National Assembly to Tajudeen Yusuf.
Dino was only able to garner 99 votes while his opponent, Yusuf, who currently represents Kabba/Bunu Ijumu Federal constituency in the House of Representatives, had 163 votes.
The contest went into a rerun after both aspirants had 88 votes each on Monday.
Meanwhile, it is believed that Yusuf is an ally of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, and his victory may be a plus for his supporter, benefactor and presidential aspirant.
Dino Melaye is the candidate of the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar. He has never hide his support for the frontline presidential aspirant.
