In Saturday’s governorship election, All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Governor Hope Uzodimma emerged victorious in each of Imo State’s 27 local government areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission declared that although eighteen parties entered candidates for the election, All Progressives Congress governor Hope Uzodimma emerged victorious in each of the state’s twenty-seven local government districts.
Achonu Nneji of the Labour Party, Jack Ogunewe of the Action Alliance, and Samuel Anyanwu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are seen as his primary rivals.
Prof. Abayomi Fasina, the State Returning Officer for the election and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oye-Ekiti in the state of Ekiti, has declared an hour-long break to facilitate the computation of the final results. The winner of the election will subsequently be officially declared.
Callistus Ihejiagwa, the state agent for the Labour Party, was physically assaulted and ejected from the collation center earlier today for voicing disapproval of the results that the local government area return officers had announced.
Kissinger Ikeokwu, the state representative for the Peoples Democratic Party, fled the scene after the attack.
On Saturday night, the PDP and Labour Party candidates demanded that the poll be canceled, accusing the APC of manipulating the results with the help of INEC and security personnel.
