The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday night declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Dr. Peter Mbah, as the winner of last Saturday’s governorship election in Enugu State.
INEC had on Monday suspended the collation of the election results in the state over alleged irregularities in results from Nkanu East and Nsukka Local Government Areas of the state.
The state’s Returning Officer, Prof. Maduebibisi Ofo Iwe, who announced the outcome of the election at INEC Collation Centre in Enugu, said Mbah polled 160,895 votes to defeat his closest rival, Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party, who garnered 157,552 votes.
