Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retd.), had on Saturday declared 22 chairmanship candidates of the Action Peoples Party as winners of the 5 October 2024 local government elections in the state.
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.
