Premium Times reports that from results of the wards collated so far in the local government, the Peoples Democratic Party is trailing the All Progressive Congress.
In Otuoke, where the ex-president voted, the APC won in all the polling units in the ward.
It is believed that Jonathan withdrew his support for the PDP over a disagreement between him and Governor Seriake Dickson on who should represent the party in the governorship election.
