See Okorocha’s
victory dance after winning in 19 out of 27 local government area
Results of the
2015 governorship election collated in Imo State show Governor Rochas Okorocha
clearly winning in 19 out of 27 Local Government Areas.
Okorocha, who is
the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, has so far polled about 373,269
votes in Ideato North, Ideato South, Isu, Nkwerre, Nwangele, Onu-Imo, Orsu and
Njaba LGAs.
Other local
governments where the governor has the majority votes are Owerri Municipal,
Okigwe, Oru West, Owerri North, Ihitte-Uboma, Ehime-Mbano and Mbaitoli.
Also, Okorocha won
in Orlu, Owerri West, Obowo and Ikeduru ahead of the candidate of the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Emeka Ihedioha, who polled over 200,000
votes, and Capt Emmanuel Iheanacho of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
Although the
conduct of the governorship and state house of assembly elections has been
generally hailed as peaceful, there were widespread allegations of ballot box
snatching and irregularities in some wards and polling units.
Results were
cancelled in some LGAs, such as Isu, Nwangele, Ngor-Okpala and Obowo.
Also, voting did
not take place in over 30 polling units in the state, particularly in Ikeduru,
Obowo, Oguta, Oru West and Ezinihitte LGAs.
While some members
of the National Youth Service Corps on election duty in Ohaji-Egbema were
allegedly attacked and brutalised by hoodlums, security agents arrested about
five unidentified men dressed in fake Army uniforms and armed with AK47 rifles
as they attempted to snatch ballot boxes in Aboh-Mbaise LGA on Saturday.
Meanwhile,
Iheanacho on Sunday called for the cancellation of the governorship election on
the ground that it was fraught with malpractices.
