The All Progressives Congress (APC) has recorded a sweeping victory in Rivers State, winning 20 out of 23 local government areas in Saturday’s chairmanship and councillorship elections.
The keenly contested poll, held across the state on Saturday, August 30th, saw the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) clinch three local government areas, while other political parties failed to make a significant impact.
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) announced the results on Sunday, confirming APC’s dominance in most of the local councils.
The elections were largely peaceful, though minor delays were reported in some polling units due to the late arrival of electoral materials.
Party supporters have since taken to the streets in several APC-controlled areas to celebrate what they describe as “a clear mandate from the people.”
However, security operatives have been deployed across the state to maintain order as the final collation of ward-level results continues in preparation for the issuance of certificates of return to the winners.
