The Governor of Enunu State, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has lost his senatorial bid to the Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Enugu North Senatorial district, Okechukwu Ezea.
Ugwuanyi,
who is rounding off his second term as governor, is the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) candidate for the Enugu North Senatorial District election held on
Saturday 25 February.
The
Returning Officer for the election, Chukwuemeka Ubaka, announced the result at
the collation centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in
Nsukka Local Government Area headquarters on Monday at about 5: 20 a.m.
Mr
Ezea, the LP candidate, polled a total of 104,492 votes to defeat Mr Ugwuanyi
of the PDP, who came second with 46,948 votes.
The
All Progressives Congress candidate for the district, Ejike Eze, garnered 6,816
votes to come a distant third.
Ubaka, a professor, said Mr. Ezea was declared the winner in the exercise
because he “justified all the requirements of the law” having scored the
highest number of votes in the election.
