Emeka Ihedioha

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the Imo State governorship election, Emeka Ihedioha, has the lead after announcement of results from the 11 local government areas so far declared.

There are 27 local governments in the state.

According to Professor Francis Otunta, the state Returning Officer, Emeka Ihedioha, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has so far polled 128,732 votes, Sahara Reporters reports.

His closest rival, Uche Nwosu of Action Alliance, who is the anointed of outgoing Governor Rochas Okorocha, has so far scored 66,852 votes, while Senator Ifeanyi Ararume of the All Progressives Congress Grand Alliance (APGA) has 37,107.

Senator Hope Uzodimma, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has polled 27,331 votes while the Accord Party candidate and former Governor of the state, Ihedi Ohakim, has just 2,047.

This means Emeka Ihedioha is leading his closest challenger with over 70,000 votes — but there are still 16 local governments to go.
