Two women win Imo constituencies’ elections


The results of the third, Orlu/Orsu/Oru East Federal Constituency were yet to be declared as at Monday morning. The winners include Mrs. Uju Onwudiwe of Action Alliance (AA) in Njaba Constituency and Mrs. Miriam Onuoha of All Progressives Congress (APC), who emerged winner in Onuimo/Okigwe/Isiala Mbano Federal Constituency. But the elections recorded low turn out, voter apathy, and violence despite the heavy presence of security operatives. In the case of Orlu/Orsu/Oru East Federal Constituency, PDP’s candidate, Jerry Alagboso, was in the lower chamber of the National Assembly before the Court of Appeal also ordered for a re-run. But Imo PDP has called for the cancellation of the elections, saying it was marred by all kinds of violence and irregularities, which put the party at disadvantage.
