Earlier in his speech before the declaration of the election results, the ISIEC chairman said: “In view of the observations made in the field and the constraints faced by ISIEC.
“I mostly sincerely appealed to His Excellence Rochas Okorocha and Imo state House of Assembly, to make law that will confer nominal Community status to registration areas, RAs, in large communities without recognized status.
“Which will enable them qualify for ISIEC, wards possibly manned by appointed traditional prime ministers.”
