WILLIE OBIANO

Willie Obiano, candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has been declared winner of the disputed governorship election in Anambra State according to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Nigeria.

Professor Chukwuemeka Onukogu, the Resident Commissioner of INEC in Anambra state declared in Awka that Mr. Obiano won the election by polling   180,178 votes in 19 local government areas in the state.

The total votes won by the APGA candidates constitutes 25% of the votes in at least 19 LGAs out of the 21 LGAs in the state.

The election results were declared after the completion of today's supplementary elections which was boycotted by major parties that earlier participated in the first ballot.

Expect lots of legal tussle after this declaration as the 3 main opposition parties had written INEC formally for the cancellation of the polls believed to have rigged by the ruling party APGA.
