Okorocha set to be declared Imo state governor-elect

From all indications, Governor Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Congress will soon be declared governor-elect of Imo state, for a second term, defeating the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Emeka Ihedioha, by not less than 100,000 votes.

In most results declared today at polling units where supplementary polls were condicted, Okorocha trashed his PDP opponent by wide margins, making his re-election a certainty.

Ihedioha’s hope for a push was deflated today with the arrest of some his backers, such as Senator Hope Uzodinma, for trying to stuff ballot boxes with thumb-printed ballot papers.

When the result of the 11 April election was declared inconclusive, Okorocha was leading Ihedioha by over close to 80,000 votes.

He polled 385,671 votes to Ihedioha’s 306,142 votes.

The supplementary polls were meant to resolve the clear winner and today, the votes kept swinging to Okorocha, in the main.
