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.
