The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has declared as “inconclusive”, the Okigwe senatorial zone re-run election, while the ALl Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for Owerri West assembly seat won the electoral contest.

Also declared inconclusive was the result of the state assembly seats for Oru East and Isiala Mbano local council areas of the state.

Vanguard gathered that the Oru East state assembly re-run election had to be declared inconclusive because of the shoot out at Okata and Amiri communities in Oru East, between supporters of the rival parties midway into the election.

Similarly, there were some reported skirmishes in some voting centres in Okigwe and Onuimo local government areas, where the re-run poll took place.

The INEC Returning Officer, Professor Arinze Agbogu, who announced this yesterday, while addressing the press, however said that the candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Benjamin Uwajumogu, had already scored a total of 48,921 votes, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, flag bearer, Chief Athan Achonu grabbed 40,142 votes.

The Returning Officer equally announced that a new date would be announced for the re-run poll in the 15 identified polling booths, where about 13,000 registered voters would be expected to eventually cast their votes.

Vanguard recalls that as at 12.43pm Saturday, when the initial report was filed from Osu Achara Ward, Isiala Mbano local government area, there was no recorded incident of violence.

When contacted on his mobile line, the Commissioner of Police, CP, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, who temporarily moved his Command’s Headquarters to Okigwe, confirmed that “there has been no reported case of violence anywhere in the affected areas”.

While saying that he has his men are on red alert, the Imo police boss also said that the Command was ready to tackle any eventuality, wherever and whenever it reared its ugly head.

“There is no recorded violence in any of the areas where the re-run election is taking place. Our men are everywhere and ready to promptly tackle any incident, whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head”, the CP said.

As at the time of going to press, voting had smoothly commenced in the polling units visited.

I love your response!! Politics is indeed "local", 3rd hand info from party cronies, political jobbers intent on fleecing Abuja bigwigs and blogs should never be taken as fact... grassroot will tell the real story..

Same reason it was easy for Omisore (alleged mastermind of Bola Ige's murder ooo) to dupe Jona into staking billions on a non exising political base in Osun & some mumu were postulating theories on top!!! Place wey dem nor know beyond passing through while commuting...... Claiming Osoba was don Dada in Ogun and Ladoja could water to wine in Oyo politics...Very funny..

Because APC failed to win in okigwe that's why it's been declared inconclusive for the third time of voting o!

#owelleandpmbmakeunakwantinue

APC and Inclusive
What a Shame to Inclusive President

we no go gree. How can APC wins in South east state..


In IPOB voice.. Na rigging

Funny that APC could be declared winner in one area while the rest are declared in inconclusive.

With all these inconclusive elections and Oshiomole spitting fire like a an angry emperor dragon in Edo,
Nigeria's 16 yr democracy RIP.

Wow, so imolites can vote APC. ...am waiting for those that will tag them afonjas for betraying since anybody that votes APC is an Hausa-fulani slave

I thought they said APC is not on ground anywhere again in the East and some people even came here to tell us that they are from IMO and they know what they were saying.......

Hmmmmm



I want to believe that what we read on Nairaland most times is at variance with REALITY

chaiiii Rochas...

brotherly, funny is an understatement

Congrats to them

However I can beat my cheat that Rochas had a hand in it...

Which Nigerian Celebrity Has The Most Beautiful House?

Rochas is representing. Oshomole will deliver too. Only Amaechi failed to deliver. Well maybe because he wasn't the sitting governor during the re runs. Rochas is really representing. PDP started the art of rigging in AFRICA. and the supreme court stamped it. They havent seen nothing yet. Let them just wait till 2019 when there shall be so much wailing, weeping and grinding of teeth.

PDP should go back to the drawing board.

Inconclusive election has become INEC's already
prepared result.

no

Lolz, I can't laugh and end up with headaches, today is sunday.
What about the results flying up and down on Internet yesterday evening claiming pdp wining the re-run election so far? Well, you don't win elections on nairaland or other social media. Congrat to the winners and the inconclusive should be as a matter of urgency concluded.

Apc = 48,921.
PDP = 40,142.
Difference = 8,777.

Outstanding Registered voters. 13, 000. just watch and see APC WILL WIN ALL THE STATE IN NIGERIA

Ok

If the above is not a genuine reason to declare election inconclusive, tell me what is?
