The compilation of results in the Nkwerre/ Nwangele/ Njaba/ Isu Federal Constituency of Imo State has been halted by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The suspension came as a result of the disappearance of the ballots and election results for the Njaba Local Government Area.

According to INEC, Ugoing to Ozurigbo, a candidate for the People’s Democratic Party, received 16,846 votes, while Harrison Nwadike, a candidate for the All Progressives Congress, received 6,784 votes.

The Labour Party candidate polled 6, 609 votes to be trailing on a third position.

The returning officer for the election, Roseline Ogechukwu, who suspended the election said that she could not return any candidate with the results of the four LGAs not yet fully collated.

She said all matters relating to the election be transferred to the INEC Headquarters in Owerri, the state capital.

PDP won in the three LGAs collated so far for the constituency’s election.
