The result declared at about 3 p.m. from Polling Unit 019, Agulu Ward 11, Anaocha Local Government Area, showed Ukachukwu polling 73 votes to beat Labour Party’s candidate, George Moghalu, who scored 57 votes.
Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) placed third in the unit with 38 votes.
