Rivers LGA Polls: APC sweeps 20 Councils as Fubara loses LGA
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner in 20 out of the 23 local government areas in Saturday’s chairmanship elections, while the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secured victory in only three LGAs.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s Opobo-Nkoro LGA was among those won by the APC, marking a major upset for the PDP. RSIEC Chairman, Dr Michael Odey, announced the results on Sunday at the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
According to the official results, PDP retained control of Obio-Akpor, Port Harcourt City (PHALGA), and Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA), while APC clinched the remaining councils, including Khana, Gokana, Oyigbo, and Emohua, solidifying its dominance across the state.
The election outcome signals a significant power shift in Rivers State’s local government leadership, with APC emerging as the new political force in the councils.
