As of the time of filing this report, the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) had won convincingly in 12 local government areas while the People's Democratic Party (PDP) had also claimed victory in 13 LGAs.

However, results emanating from Warri North, Warri South and Warri South West local government areas show that the PDP had seriously manipulated the figures as over 200,000 votes suddenly popped up to raise the sagging numbers of Emmanuel Uduaghan, the current governor of the state.

INEC officials, in collusion with the state governor, might declare Uduaghan the winner but voters in the state determined to stop Mr. Uduaghan's corrupt regime have begun mobilizing to protest the results. Citizen reporters across the state said tension has enveloped the state as INEC is set to rig in Uduaghan once again.
