The 13 chairmanship positions in the local government elections held over the weekend in Ebonyi state were all won by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Ebonyi state Independent Electoral Commission’s (EBSIEC) chairman, Jossy Eze, declared the election results on Sunday in Abakaliki.

Eze claims that the APC also won every one of the 171 councillorship positions.

He commended the electorate for ensuring that the polls were free and peaceful.

He said:-

“By the power vested in me by the law, I hereby declare the results of the chairmanship of each of the 13 local governments as follows:

“One, Abakaliki Local Government, Mr Ebere Nwogba of the APC, having satisfied the requirements of the law and scored the majority of valid votes cast at the election, is hereby returned as duly elected.

“Other elected APC Chairmen included Chinedu Uburu, Ebonyi LGA; Chidiebere Uzor, Onicha LGA; Chinonso Ajah, Ohaozara LGA; Ibiam Nnajiofor, Afikpo North and Ekuma-Nkama Chima, Afikpo South.

“This commission has received, considered, validated and adopted the results of each of the 171 councillorship of the wards. That is to say that APC has won in all the wards.”

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and other political parties in the state reportedly boycotted the LG polls.

Chika Nwoba, publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi, described the elections as a “one-man-show”.
