The APGA candidate won in 17 of the 21 local government areas of the state. One local government was won by the PDP candidate (Valentine Ozigbo) while the candidate of the YPP, Ifeanyi Ubah, also won in one local government.
However, the collation officers for two local government areas (Ihiala and Orumba North) said at the INEC collation center that elections did not hold in their local governments.
While Soludo’s APGA leads his closest challenger, Mr. Ozigbo, with over 45,000 votes, Ihiala local government alone has over 148,000 registered voters.

INEC is, however, still reviewing the situation and has not taken a position.
