APC counters Ekpo critics, highlights minister's achievements

The ruling All Progressives Congress has won in all the 305 councilorship seats and 27 chairmanship positions in the Imo State local government elections held on Saturday.

Announcing the results at the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission’s office on Sunday , the Chairman of ISIEC, Mr. Charles Ejiogu, said, “The election followed the laid down guidelines and procedures.

“We gave room for robust participation. We had meetings with critical stakeholders and all security agencies.

“We observed primaries of political parties. Election took place across the 305 wards and 27 LGs. Election took place at 4758 polling units.

“Political parties inspected sensitive materials and I can say that the election was peaceful, fair, transparent and credible.”

The chairman added, “The APC won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats”.

According reported that 17 political parties participated in the election.

However, the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Denocratic Party, Lancelot Obiaku, described the election as a charade, show of shame and undemocratic.

“It is on record that ISIEC did not release the list of candidates for the election, nor did the commission publish the voter register at the polling units as the law requires. There was no communication or meeting whatsoever with political parties, the candidates, and other stakeholders regarding the election.

“Also, just a day before the election, no one knew who the ISIEC electoral officers were and how the ad-hoc staff were selected. The commission never advertised applications for its ad-hoc roles”.

The election which started on Saturday has been concluded with the announcement of the results.
