The total valid votes cast at the poll,  Akpagu said, was 422,314; total number of rejected votes, 26,457 while the total votes cast was 448,771 votes.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner for the state, Dr Ukwachukwu Orji, who spoke on the conduct of the election said it was commendable that “no bloodshed was recorded.”

He pleaded, however:  “Let this election not divide the people of the state but bring you together.”

“We promised free, fair and credible poll and that is what we have fulfilled that,” he said.

He disclosed that Obiano would get his certificate of return from INEC on Wednesday.
