The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the report on the Supreme Court-ordered delineation of wards and polling units in the Warri Federal Constituency, ending months of controversy and agitation surrounding the exercise in Delta State.

The report was unveiled during an emergency stakeholders’ meeting held in Asaba and attended by representatives of the Itsekiri, Ijaw and Urhobo ethnic nationalities, with top INEC officials.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Etekamba Unoren, presented the outcome of the delineation exercise.

The report showed that Warri North I, dominated by the Itsekiri, has 10 wards, while Warri North II, largely populated by Ijaws, also has 10 wards.

In Warri South-West, the report allocated seven wards to Warri South-West II (Itsekiri) and 13 wards to Warri South-West I (Ijaw).

For Warri South Local Government Area, INEC created a total of 20 wards, distributed among the ethnic groups as follows: Urhobo — nine wards, Itsekiri — eight wards, and Ijaw — three wards.

The report also indicated that the Urhobo and Ijaw communities would now share one State Constituency I in Warri South, while the Itsekiri would occupy a separate state constituency.

INEC further disclosed that additional federal constituencies were proposed for the Ijaws and Itsekiris in Warri North and Warri South-West, subject to constitutional amendment and approval by the National Assembly.
