In the results released by the Port Harcourt City Collation Officer, Prof Victoria Olumide, the LP polled 62,451, while the PDP and APC polled 7,203 and 5,562 respectively.

The vote polled by the APC in Port Harcourt city is a threat to the entire results so far collated, although Obio/Akpor, Governor Nyesom Wike’s LGA which had yet to be collated has the largest voting strength in the state.
