Candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have won both seats in the February 21 by-elections held in Rivers State.

She defeated candidates of the African Alliance, New Nigerian Peoples Party, Young Peoples Party and Zenith Labour Party.

At Ahoada-East Constituency II, the APC candidate, Ukalikpe Napoleon, was declared winner of Constituency 2 by-election.
The Returning Officer, Prof. Rosemary Ogbo, who announced the result, said the election was duly conducted and contested.
