The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declares Ikeje Asogwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the Enugu North senatorial district by-election in Enugu State. The election is held on Saturday following the death of Okey Ezea, the senator representing the district. According to INEC’s declaration issued on Sunday, Asogwa wins the seat, and the result is formally announced by the electoral body.
Multiple reports also note that the election takes place amid opposition complaints. Opposition parties publicly allege irregularities during the process, with some claims involving violence and voter intimidation. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is mentioned among parties raising concerns. While INEC’s result stands at the time of the reports, opposition figures signal possible legal action, including plans to challenge the outcome in court.
