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

In Khana Local Government Area, the APC candidate for Khana Constituency II, Henrietta Bulabari, was declared winner after polling 7,647 votes.
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.
