The list also contained the names of winners of the State House of Assembly election which held on March 9.
Three PDP candidates – Anthony Soberekon (10,976 votes), Bariene Deeyah (64,269 votes), and Prince Ngbor (39,681 votes), were declared the winners of Degema, Khana I and Khana II seats in the House respectively.
A female candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Nwankwo Promise, won the Oyigbo State Constituency seat with 26,675 votes.
However, INEC has yet to declare the winners of the elections for Opobo/ Nkoro, Ahoada West, Abua/ Adual, and Gokana State Constituency seats for various reasons.
They include inconclusive election as a result of the margin of lead, non-deployment of electoral officials and materials, and disruption of the exercise.
