The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won three local governments in the oil-rich state.
APC also won the councillorship election in 20 LGAs, while the PDP claimed only three councils.
Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) Dr. Michael Odey, announced the winners of the LG polls on Sunday at the Commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.
Odey said the winners would be presented their certificates of return on Monday, September 1.
Saturday’s election witnessed a low voter turnout as many residents of the state didn’t participate in the exercise.
This is the first time the APC would gain dominance in Rivers since the return of democracy in 1999.
