APP Sweeps 22 of 23 Chairmanship Seats in Rivers State Local Government Elections

Port Harcourt, Rivers State – The Action Peoples Party (APP) has emerged victorious in the recent local government elections in Rivers State, clinching 22 out of 23 chairmanship positions.

The elections, held on Saturday across all 23 council areas, were marked by protests from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Justice Adolphus Enebeli, Chief Election Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), announced the results on Saturday evening. He indicated that the declaration of the overall results is still pending due to ongoing vote collation in the Etche Local Government Area.

“The results for Etche LGA will be announced alongside the outcomes for the 319 councillorship positions at a later date,” Enebeli stated.
