PDP Sweeps Delta Council PollBy Tunke-Aye Bisina, Correspondent, AsabaDelta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) has announced results of Saturday's local government election, declaring the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the 24 chairmanship seats in the state. PDP also won 442 out of the 468 councillorship seats. There are 25 local governments in the state, but chairmanship election was not conducted in Ughelli South because the current chairman has not served out his term. He was elected in 2006, following the nullification of the election of the previous occupant of the office. From the results released by DSIEC Chairman, Justice Samuel Jaho, the Accord Party, DPA, CPP, Action Congress, PPA and the ANPP won some councillorship seats in seven local government areas, with the remaining seats in 17 local government areas, were won by the PDP. Accord won five seats in Ndokwa West, two in Aniocha South, six in Udu and two in Warri South.
