While the trio of Akinwunmi, Dikko, Yola opted out of a possible rerun since Gusau did not get the mandatory 22 votes to win on the first ballot, Idah pressed for a rerun and it was conducted by the electoral body.

In the ensuing rerun, Gusau polled 39 votes while Idah got one vote while one was voided.
