PDP Clears Delta LGA Poll

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has cleared all the seat in the March 6 chairmanship and councillorship elections in Delta State.
The Chairman of the Delta Independent Electoral Commission DSIEC, Chief Mike Ogbodu, announced the election results on Sunday at the state capital, Asaba.

According to the chairman, the PDP cleared all the 25 chairmanship and 500 councillorship positions in the 25 local government areas of the state.
“The local government election in Delta State, which was conducted on Saturday, March 6, 2021, has been won by the PDP.
“According to results collated across the 25 local government areas, the PDP cleared all the chairmanship and councillorship positions.
“Let me state here that there was no recorded incidence of violence during and after the election across the state,” Ogbodu said.
However, upon announcing the results, Mr Samson Uwandulu, a councillorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and his supporters protested against the result.

Uwandulu, who spoke to reporters at Delta Independent Electoral Commission’s premises, maintained that he won the election in Isele-Azagba Ward 6, Oshimili North Local Government Area.
“My name is Samson Uwandulu. I contested for the councillorship election in Ward 6, Isele-Azagba.

“After the election, the electoral officer for the ward counted the votes in the presence of all party agents.
“From the counted figures, I polled 408 votes, while the PDP candidate got 317 votes.
“But before I could be pronounced the winner, the officials stopped the process and they all entered a car and drove off,” Uwandulu said.
