The Imo State Independent Electoral Commission, ISIEC, has presented Certificates of Return to the winners of Saturday’s local government chairmanship election in the state.
DAILY POST recalls that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, won all 27 chairmanship and 305 councillorship positions.
While presenting the certificates on Tuesday, ISIEC chairman Charles Ejiogu said the presentation of the certificates was in line with the provisions of the law.
Ejiogu stated that certificates of return for the vice chairmen and councillors would be presented to them in the next couple of days.
“What has just happened is the concrete demonstration of the will and determination of the people to express themselves democratically in an atmosphere devoid of bitterness and rancour.
“Observers have adjudged that the election was very peaceful, free, fair, transparent and credible,” Ejiogu said.
Two of the 27 chairmen-elect are female, while 14 other females emerged as vice chairpersons of various LGAs.
