<h2>The Peoples&nbsp;Democratic Party(PDP) Anambra Chapter has rejected the outcome of the Saturday Local Government Council elections in the state.</h2>

Chief Chigozie Igwe, the chairman of PDP in Anambra said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Awka on Monday.

Genevieve Osakwe, Chairman,&nbsp;Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC), Sunday night declared chairmanship and councillorship candidates of ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) winners in the 21 local government councils and 326 wards.

Osakwe while declaring the results described the election as free, fair, credible and peaceful. Igwe, who described, the exercise as a charade said the PDP did not boycott the election like other political parties did, adding that it, therefore was in good stead to deplore its outcome.

The PDP chairman said the party was still studying the details of the exercise, vowing that PDP would challenge it.

“They gave us one month to prepare for the election, within that period we sold forms, screened nominees, conducted primary, campaign and met all the conditions.

“But on election day, ANSIEC sent materials and officials to where they liked, no result was released to anywhere including Zikdton primary school, Nza Ozubulu where I voted.

“They conducted a charade I’m the name of election, so we are rejecting whatever result they released,” he said.

Igwe said the PDP would ensure that the autonomy of the local government areas in Anambra was not compromised. He said that local government funds should be applied at levels for the development of the communities.

“Local government autonomy has come to; we will make sure any chairman who misuses local government money is prosecuted and sent to jail.

“As the leading opposition party in Anambra, the PDP is going to stand for the people and ensure that the principles of layers of government are&nbsp;respected,” he added.&nbsp;
