Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State was yesterday re-elected in the Imo governorship rerun election, scoring 416,996 votes to defeat his closest rival, Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who polled 320,705 votes. Okorocha ran for the election as candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Meanwhile, in Abia State where rerun election also held yesterday, the PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, won by beating Dr. Alex Otti of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, with 264,713 votes to 180,882.
It was gathered that yesterday’s elections in the two states were marred by glaring voter apathy as most of the polling units in the affected states recorded low turnout of voters compared to what obtained during the March 28 and April 11 elections.
