The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) candidate for Delta Central, Chief Ighoyota Amori, has been declared winner of Saturday’s supplementary election.
Amori led with 116,723 votes, ahead of Labour Party’s (LP’s) Ovie Omo-Agege, who polled 76,635 votes and the All Progressives Party’s (APC’s) Halims Agoda, who scored 15,491 votes.
According to the breakdown, in Ethiope East, Ethiope West and Sapele councils, Amori got 14,142, 172 and 8,864 votes while Omo-Agege got 7,168, 12 and 1,541 votes.
For Udu, Uvwie, Okpe and Ughelli South areas, the PDP candidate polled 9,194; 4,819, 8,613 and 2,981 while the LP candidate got 3,956; 2,366, 2,022 and 681.
The Media Director of Omo-Agege Campaign Organisation, Martins Aruviere, alleged that results in the strongholds of his principal were cancelled.
“INEC is not independent as they want us to believe. Results from LP strongholds were cancelled, especially in Ethiope East, Uvwie and Udu. This is the beginning, election is just the first phase, the tribunal is there to scrutinise and question the process,” he said.
