“This implies that NNPP won all the 44 chairmanship positions and the 484 councillorship positions across the state.”

He said the exercise had been largely peaceful and successful in all ramifications.

“The commission therefore, deeply appreciates the roles played by the critical stakeholders, notably; security agencies, media organisations, leaders of political parties, civil society organisations, as well as religious and community leaders.

“The peaceful conduct of the exercise is a doubtless manifestation of public acceptability of the exercise in terms of credibility, fairness and decency,” he noted.

The chairman commended the electorate for preventing their underage children to vote.
