Mr Umoren also commended security agencies, election observers and the media for playing their respective roles in ensuring the peaceful conduct of the election.

The certificates were presented to the members-elect representing Burutu North, Alapala Ebitonmo and Blessing Achoja, both of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
