While
in four wards were won each by Accord party, 1, Rebuild Nigeria

But
according to Ibebuchi, elections could not hold in some wards in
Oguta local government areas, Isiala Mbano, Aboh Mbaise and Owerri
North local government area.
Earlier
in his speech before the declaration of the election results, the
ISIEC chairman said: "In view of the observations made in
the field and the constraints faced by ISIEC.
"I
mostly sincerely appealed to His Excellence Rochas Okorocha and Imo
state House of Assembly, to make law that will confer nominal
Community status to registration areas, RAs, in large communities
without recognized status.
"Which
will enable them qualify for ISIEC, wards possibly manned by
appointed traditional prime ministers."
