On Saturday, October 5, the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd.), declared 22 chairmanship candidates of the Action Peoples Party as winners of the local government elections in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
He said after the collation of results, the candidates scored a majority of valid votes cast in two-thirds of their respective wards in the 22 local government areas.
Enebeli, who is also the Chief Electoral Commissioner for the election, added that the result of the chairmanship position for Etche LG was stood down by the commission because of its expansive landscape with 19 wards, which slowed down the collation process.
However, nothing yet has been heard from the parties that boycotted the elections, especially the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party.
