Governor Hope Uzodinma Clears 27 LGAs to Win Imo Guber Election

By Adedapo Adesanya

Governor Hope Uzodinma won the Imo governorship election after he defeated his opponents in all the 27 local government areas of Imo State.

Mr Uzodinma, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was announced the winner in each of the 27 local governments at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collation centre in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

The INEC Returning Officer, Mr Abayomi Fasina, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti, Ekiti State (FUOYE), formally announced the winner on Sunday.

Mr Uzodinma contested against 17 other candidates in Saturday’s election. His two main challengers, candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party (LP), have, however, alleged fraud and called for total cancellation of the election.

According to INEC, the number of registered voters in the state for the poll was 2,419,922 with 2,318,919 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collected.
