Abia LG Elections: PDP Wins All Chairmanship Seats

Abia State Electoral Commission (ABISIEC) has declared that the ruling PDP won the chairmanship seats in all the 17 councils in the election held Wednesday.

The Chairman of the Commission, Justice Igbozurike Akomas (retd), who announced the results said, however, that councillorship results would be announced later, saying that they were still being collated.

Meanwhile, many opposition parties have condemned the polls, alleging they were fraught with various irregularities, ranging from non-availability of voting materials to snatching of materials.

In Ukwa West Council, the electoral commission’s office was torched by aggrieved politicians protesting what they called the commission’s day-light electoral fraud.

The APC chairmanship candidate in the council, Engr. Chinwe Uruakpa said there was no election in the council.

According to him, “no adhoc worker or electoral officer visited any polling unit in the council.”
