Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) has declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner in all the chairmanship seats in the 25 Local Government Areas of the state.
But the major opposition party in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC), which withdrew from the exercise midway on Saturday, described the exercise as a sham as against the PDP which has adjudged the poll as not only peaceful but free and fair.
