Meanwhile, the results of the election in Abia and Enugu States were postponed as a result of conflict between the Labour Party and the PDP on issues trailing the election in some local government areas.

 

 

INEC, however, has suspended further collation of the governorship election results to review the process of the contentious balloting in parts of the two states.
