INEC declared on Sunday that PDP’s candidates won all the elections and were returned elected.

The candidates are Sokolo Solomon, Okpokiri Nwanaka, Dumle Maol, and Adonye Diri.

The suppletory elections held in include Opobo/ Nkoro, Ahoada West, Abua/ Odual, and Gokana after INEC declined to declare winners in the constituencies in the March 9 governorship and State House of Assembly elections due to disruption, margin of lead and non-deployment of electoral officials and materials.
