Bright Ngene
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Bright Ngene of the Labour Party as the winner of the rerun election held in Enugu South 1 State Constituency. This brings to an end the crisis that has trailed every attempt to conduct the rerun, which was ordered by the Appeal Court.
NewsBits recalls that last Saturday, (16/0/2025), there were disruptions at the polling units earmarked for the polls, leading to a verbal confrontation between supporters of various political parties. However, in an update provided on Tuesday, INEC has now declared Ngene as the winner.
The update was signed by Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman, Information & Voter Education Committee. He said, “Two re-run elections by order of the Election Petition Appeal Tribunals were held in Enugu and Kano States.
“After previous disruptions of the elections in the two States by violence and thuggery, the elections have now been concluded. Declaration and return were made by the Returning Officers.
“For the Enugu South 1 State Constituency of Enugu State, Ngene Bright Emeka of the Labour Party (LP) was declared the winner,” NewsBits reports that Ngene is currently remanded at the Enugu prison on the order of the court.
