Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Rivers and Bayelsa states has declared Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates and others winners.
In Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency of Rivers, Dunameme Dekor, emerged the winner.
The result was announced after collation of results was concluded in Sorgho and Bangha communities. The Returning Officer for the election, Kingsely Owete, said Dekor satisfied the requirements of the law and was re-elected.
Shortly after he was declared winner, Dekor commended INEC and security agencies for being apolitical in the discharge of their duties.
Similarly, the PDP candidate for Port Harcourt Federal Constituency II, Blessing Amadi, was declared the winner.
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the area, Friday Nkee-ee, scored the election very low, alleging that hoodlums snatched election materials while the police watched.
Meanwhile, Labour Party and All Progressives Congress (APC) shunned Saturday’s election.
Spokesman for the APC Campaign Council in the State, Sogbeye Eli, who noted that their candidate for Port Harcourt Federal Constituency, Collins Owhonda, has left the party, said previous elections were heavily manipulated and that his party cannot participate in a fraudulent exercise.
