By Jide Afolabi

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has adjourned the collation of results of the Rivers state governorship election till Wednesday, April 3, 2019.

INEC had announced results of 15 LGA’s on Tuesday with the PDP candidate, Nyesom Wike maintaining a comfortable lead, winning 13 LGA’s.

INEC had earlier suspended the announcement of the March 9 governorship election results and sent a fact-finding team to the state to determine the circumstances that led to what warranted the suspension of the elections.

INEC has not yet announced results of two LGAs, while supplementary elections will be held next week in six other local governments where there were cancelled elections.
