In Booth 2, APC secured 126 votes, compared with six votes for APGA.

He claimed that some party agents had been attacked in areas such as Utuh in Nnewi South and called on security agencies to enforce the law and prevent electoral fraud.
Despite the allegations, Ukachukwu expressed confidence that his party would emerge victorious, emphasising that voting was a civic duty and proof of his qualification to both vote and be voted for.
