Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA has won Tuesday\u2019s supplementary governorship election in Ihiala Local Government Area.<\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC had on Sunday, after announcing 20 out of the 21 Local Government Areas of the State scheduled a supplementary election in Ihiala, after being unable to deploy materials to the area on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Announcing the result, Dr German Anagbogu of the University of Calabar, who worked as the returning officer for the local government stated that: \u201c12, 298 is the total number of accredited voters in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said, the All Progressives Congress, APC polled 343 votes, APGA polled 8,283 votes, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP polled 2,485, while the Young Progressives Party, YPP got 344 votes.<\/p>\n

This brings to 19, the number of local government areas won by APGA in the election.<\/p>\n

Anagbogu, however, reported that elections could not hold in two communities because of resistance.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIn the process of the election, we received report that there was resistance in Orsumoghu and Lilu, as INEC deployed to the communities, but could not enter.\u201d<\/p>\n
