The All Progressives Congress has won 22 out of the 23 chairmanship seats in the local government election conducted in Rivers State on Saturday.

The party also won 297 councillorship seats in the 302 wards while other political parties won the rest.

The result was announced on Sunday night by the Chief Returning Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Austin Ahiazu.

He said there was no election in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area because the poll was held in the council last year.

“The chairmanship seats were won by APC in all the 22 LGAs where elections held,” he said.
“As you know, there were no elections at Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA because they just had election last year.

“APC won 297 wards out of 302 wards. The remaining wards were won by ADC in Etche ward 3, PPA in Ahoada West ward 2, and Ahoada East ward 4 SDP won the seat there.”
He, however, said the election in Ward 8, Ahoada East LGA, was inconclusive.

Mr. Ahiauzu described the election as peaceful and transparent.

The Returning Officer thanked Rivers people for going out to vote candidates of their choice.

The Peoples Democratic Party boycotted the election citing court injunction which ordered that status quo be maintained.

What a contrast from the governorship election. Could there be a fraud in the earlier elections? Or is it the council polls that were fraudulent?

Guess u also have a problem with interpreting a logical comment. I don't have to spit it out in black and white for you.

The stage is now set for political/legal battles ad infinitum. Lets see who blinks first! God save innocent Riverians.

I think that depends on who controls the house of assembly.

U still don't get the point... Do you? An election which the dominant political party in the state boycotted cannot be said to be fraudulent. It was a one-sided event and the issue of fraud cannot arise. Nobody is crying wolf yet. The incoming PDP government would have to organise fresh elections in due time. What happened over the weekend was a farce and a charade. It has no credibility whatsoever

That Mr J Iscariot is just a troublemaker! What's the hurry in conducting LG elections when he's got just a few hours left in office!?

scam

So sorry, I actually omitted that part. Thanks for the pointer.

The way Alliance for Democracy (AD), won all the 20 Local government and 37 local council development areas of Lagos State in the year 2003 when OBJ and Lagos PDP asked us to boycott the poll when Tinubu decided to multiply the LGs.


Amaechi, the case of Rivers State will be different, don't be deceived.
