Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of the PDP has won in 23 of the 25 local government areas in Delta State leaving his closest rival, Chief Great Ogboru of the APC with wins in only two local governmentb in the Delta State Guber election.

Official results from all 25 LGAs released by INEC shows that Okowa polled 925,274 while Ogboru scored 215,938 votes.

Ogboru has failed for a record five times in his attempt to be the democratic governor of the oil-rich Delta State, winning in his home area of Ethiope East and Ughelli, home place of Olorogun O’tega Emerhor and Senator.
