The minority caucus of House of Representatives has rejected the outcome of the elections held in Kogi and Bayelsa States on Saturday.

The Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, who led the leadership of the caucus to address journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, said the elections, comprising governorship and senatorial, were marred by violence, rigging and other irregularities.
