The Action Peoples Party, APP, secured 22 out of 23 chairmanship positions in the recently concluded local government elections in Rivers State.
According to Channels Television, retired Justice Adolphus Enebeli, Chief Election Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, announced the results on Saturday in Port Harcourt.
Enebeli noted that the announcement for Etche Local Government Area has been delayed as the collation of results is still ongoing.
However, the state electoral umpire suspended the declaration of results for Etche Local Government Area (LGA) because the collation is ongoing.
The RSIEC chairman also said that announcement for the 319 councillorship seats will be announced alongside that of the Etche Chairmanship position when collations are concluded.
He described the election as free, fair, and credible, despite all odds. According to him, polls were closed at 3 pm and recorded a large turnout of voters.
