Imo Rerun Election: Nkenna Nzeruo Emerges Winner In Oru East

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Nkenna Nzeruo, winner of the Oru East state constituency rerun election in Imo State.

The APC candidate polled 5,000 votes on Sunday to win the seat in the Imo State House of Assembly in southeast Nigeria.

Meanwhile, final collation is still on going at Okigwe Local Government Area as residents await the final result from the senatorial rerun election.

Channels Television crew who monitored the elections gathered that the collation centers at the six local government areas under the Imo North senatorial district were heavily manned by armed security operatives who were on ground to forestall any occurrence of breakdown of law and order in the state.

Major gladiators in the election, the APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have continued to trade blames, accusing one another of electoral malpractices and manipulations.
