The election had been earlier declared inconclusive, but Professor Francis Chukwuemeka Ezeonu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of Imo State, declared Alagboso winner of the election.
According to Ezeonu, some of the areas where elections were declared inconclusive had results, and as such, after the commission applied the electoral guidelines as should have been earlier done, the PDP candidate was declared winner.
