The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has rejected the results of the just concluded Imo State House of Assembly election held last Saturday. Anyanwu disclosed this while speaking with Journalists in Abuja on Monday, adding that the election was marred with violence and complete voter disenfranchisement. “Imo is not a Banana Republic where the rights of Imo People will be thrown to the gutters and their votes will not count. Briefing journalists separately, the PDP candidates in Nwangele and Aboh Mbaise state constituencies, Solomon Ucheka and Princewill Amuchie, alleged that the All Progressives Congress candidates suppressed and intimidated the voters. The PDP candidate said that he won the lawful votes cast but the APC candidate in company of security agents allegedly snatched ballot boxes and rewrote results.
