BEVERLY HILLS, April 10, (THEWILL) – Results trickling in from Imo State put the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Emeka Ihedioha in early lead ahead of his main challenger in the governorship election, Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While Ihedioha has put a strong showing in his base, Mbaise axis of Owerri senatorial zone, Okorocha is struggling to battle the onslaught of the PDP candidate into his Orlu stronghold. Okigwe zone appears to be tilting largely in line with the PDP in the elections.

The governor lost at the polling unit in Government house Owerri with a margin of one vote. The PDP polled a total of 58 votes to defeat the APC which scored 57 votes. Similarly the Deputy Governor of the state, Prince Eze Madumere also failed to deliver his booth as PDP won with 533 while he only managed to get 10 votes. Although the Chief press secretary is disputing the figures but he has failed to provide the actual result from Afara ward 11 ~PU 001 where the Deputy Governor Voted.

Here are some of the results already released at the Polling Units level in different parts of the state which confirm the early lead of the PDP in the governorship elections:
