Okorocha leads in 19 LGAs in Imo

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha 
Results of the 2015 governorship election collated in Imo State show Governor Rochas Okorocha clearly winning in 19 out of 27 Local Government Areas.
Okorocha, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, has so far polled about 373,269 votes in Ideato North, Ideato South, Isu, Nkwerre, Nwangele, Onu-Imo, Orsu and Njaba LGAs.

Other local governments where the governor has the majority votes are Owerri Municipal, Okigwe, Oru West, Owerri North, Ihitte-Uboma, Ehime-Mbano and Mbaitoli.
Also, Okorocha won in Orlu, Owerri West, Obowo and Ikeduru ahead of the candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Emeka Ihedioha, who polled over 200,000 votes, and Capt Emmanuel Iheanacho of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
Although the conduct of the governorship and state house of assembly elections has been generally hailed as peaceful, there were widespread allegations of ballot box snatching and irregularities in some wards and polling units.
