Collation of the Rivers State governorship election resumed today in Port Harcourt, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) collating four more Local Governments.
The governor, who is of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has polled 763, 603 so far leaving his main challenger, Awara Biokpomabo of AAC with just 162, 180 votes.
As at yesterday, results in 15 LGAs were successfully collated. Today, four LGAs have been collated, including Wike’s LGA, Obio-Akpor. Notably, in Obio-Akpo, PDP polled 281,164 votes against AAC’s 7,495 votes.

Two more LGA results from Ahoada West and Gokana LGAs are being expected which will bring the number to 21 LGAs. Rivers State has 23 LGAs.
That said, there is possibility that the Governorship result collation committee will declare the final results today.
If that happens, then the expected re-run elections in the two LGAs, (Khana and Abua/Odual), may no longer hold.
The committee is to reconvene by 3:00pm for collation of Ahoada West and Gokana LGAs results.
