Dr Chris Ngige of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) was this morning declared winner of the Anambra Central Senatorial election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Ngige defeated former minister Dora Akunyili of the All Progressive Grand Alliance(APGA). The election took place in some wards of the senatorial districts where the INEC ordered a rerun.
The exercise was dogged by hitches in some of the polling units.
At Obosi and Nkpor in Idemili North Council Area, election materials arrived late while accreditation and voting started late, despite a low turn out.
At Aguata, Igwe Dr. Martins Eze called for the cancellation because of the hitches.
As at 2:30p.m. yesterday, members of both ACN and PDP were still protesting at the INEC office at Aguata, threatening a showdown over harassment of their members.
