According to Mr. Phlip Onyenukwe, an Asaba based business man, the Independent National Electoral Commission has just disapointed Deltans with the result he considered to be doctored.

However, findings revealed during the monitoring exercise at Ovwor-Olomu, that residents came out en-mass to allegedly cast their vote in the compound of cheif John Oguma, a PDP cheiftain.

The croud angrily urged journalsts not to video them. When the press-CREW asked cheif Oguma if his compound was a voting unit, he angrily asked if anybody was seen voting, but said the people were in his resident to appreciate his New-Year kind gesture to them.

Further findings at Ugheli south Local Government Area revealed that some voting materials were intecepted from some persons beleived to be PDP loyalists.

When the Police Area Command office was visited, the state Commisioner for Lands, survey and urban development, Barr. Fred Majemite who was in the CP's office with red and black t-shirt together with Dr. Steve Oru former assistant national secretary of the party was in light green brocade.

Oru said there was a problem they came to solve. But when Majemite was asked their mission to the police station, he said it was to know the preparation on ground. Mr. C. Abutu the police commisioner said election materials have been dispatched.

At Otujeremi Town hall where Prof. Amos Otuama voted, voting was peaceful. Also at unit 1 ward 1 Orerokpe Okpe LGA Headquaters, voting was also peaceful. At Modedom unit 4 and 20 ward 9 Eku, voting was as well peaceful.
