The Delta State All Progressives Congress, APC, in a convincing reaffirmation of its grassroots electoral strength, swept all House of Assembly rerun elections earlier ordered in the State by the Court of Appeal. The ruling party in the state, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP could not match the ground game of APC who went into the elections with unbelievable determination.
The rerun elections which took place in Burutu and Ethiope West Local Government Areas saw the APC winning in state constituencies that were previously considered impregnable strongholds of the PDP but flipped by the Delta State APC under the leadership of former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege as it governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections.
