The Chairman of AKISIEC, Aniedi Ikoiwak who declared the result of the poll, hinted that 12 political parties participated in the exercise. He explained that the PDP, won all 31 Chairmanship and 329 councillorship seats.


“The election was contested by 12 political parties and PDP won the 31 chairmanship and 329 councillorship seats respectively. The details of the scores of the election as submitted by the field officers will be made available by the field operations and logistics department of the commission in the later date,” he added.


The elected chairmen are billed to receive their certificate of return on December 4, 2017.


Meanwhile, the APC has rejected the result of the poll. In a statement issued by the State Chairman of the party, Dr. Amadu Atai, the party described the poll as below expectation.


“The style of declaring result through a press statement in this year’s local government election in Akwa Ibom state is strange compared to the previous exercises where the chief returning officer always addresses newsmen and gives details of the results.”
