PDP rejects Anambra LG poll results

The Anambra State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has rejected the outcome of Saturday’s local government council elections in the state.

The state chairman of the party, Chigozie Igwe, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Awka on Monday.

DAILY POST recalls that the Chairman, Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission, ANSIEC, Mrs Genevieve Osakwe, on Sunday night declared chairmanship and councillorship candidates of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, as winners in the 21 local government councils and 326 wards.

Osakwe while declaring the results described the election as free, fair, credible and peaceful.

But Igwe, who described, the exercise as a charade said the PDP did not boycott the election like other political parties did, adding that it, therefore was on good stead to deplore its outcome.



The PDP chairman said the party was still studying the details of the exercise, preparatory to challenging it.

“They gave us one month to prepare for the election, within that period we sold forms, screened nominees, conducted primary, campaign and met all the conditions.

“But on election day, ANSIEC sent materials and officials to where they liked, no result was released to anywhere including Zikdton primary school, Nza Ozubulu, where I voted.

“They conducted a charade in the name of election. So we are rejecting whatever result they released,” he said.
