The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Mbah, as the winner of last Saturday governorship election in Enugu State.
This was announced on Wednesday night. Mbah got 160,895 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party (LP), who polled 157,552 votes.
Announcing the result, Prof Maduebibisi Ofo-Iwe, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike, said, “Mbah Peter Ndubuisi of Peoples Democratic Party, having satisfied the requirement of the law is hereby declared the winner and returned elected.”
The collation of Enugu election results was suspended by INEC on Monday and all parties summoned to Abuja by the commission’s national leadership.
A few hours earlier on Wednesday, Alex Otti of the LP was declared winner of Abia’s governorship poll. The result collation was also suspended due to controversy and disagreement between the PDP and LP, two leading parties in the race.
