The Edo State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC) has announced that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won all chairmanship positions in the 18 local government councils in the state. However, the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) have criticized the election as a charade. The APC chairman, David Imuse, described the election as a scam with insufficient ballot papers and no single result sheet. EDSIEC's image maker, Albert Eguaoje, confirmed that certificates of return would be presented to the victorious candidates later on Sunday.
