Imo gov poll inconclusive

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission Returning Officer for Imo State, Prof. Oye Ibidapo-Obe, has declared the 2015 governorship election in the state inconclusive.

He made the declaration before journalists and agents of the various political parties that were involved in the election after the collation of results at the office of INEC in Owerri, the state capital, on Sunday.

Ibidapo-Obe said the election was inconclusive because the total number of votes in the areas where the election did not take place was higher than the margin between the two leading candidates, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Governor Rochas Okorocha, and his Peoples Democratic Party’s counterpart, Emeka Ihedioha.
