Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Governor Hope Uzodinma, has won the Imo governorship election by a landslide.
Uzodinma secured the majority of votes cast and swept all 27 LGAs in Imo state.
The APC candidate polled 540,308 votes to beat Samuel Anyanwu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 71,503 votes; and Athan Achonu of Labour Party (LP) who secured 64,081 votes.
Uzodinma became governor in January 2020 following a supreme court verdict that nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha. This is the first time he has won the state via the ballot box.
