The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says collation and announcement of results in the Rivers Governorship election will take place between 2nd and 5th April, 2019 while supplementary elections will take place on April 13 where necessary.

It would be recalled that Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja on Wednesday had refused to stop the collation of results of Rivers State Governorship and House of Assembly election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on March 9, 2019.
