The Action People’s Party (APP) has won 22 out of 23 chairmanship positions in the Saturday local government election in Rivers State.
According to Channels Television, the Chief Election Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) Adolphus Enebeli declared the results on Saturday in Port Harcourt.
The results were announced at the Ministry of Justice Hall at the State Secretariat complex, rather than the Commission’s office on Aba Road.
The results for Etche Local Government Area (LGA) is yet to be declared because the collation is ongoing, according to Enebeli.
The state electoral umpire, while noting that the election is free and fair, said that the results for the 319 councillorship seats will be announced alongside that of the Etche Chairmanship position upon conclusion of collation.
