CEOAFRICA news desk gathered that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won all the 17 chairmanship and 260 councillorship seats in the local government elections held in Enugu on Saturday.

According to the result announced on Sunday in Enugu by Dr. Boniface Eneh, the chairman of Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), all the chairmanship candidates were returned unopposed.

Dr. Eneh said that their elections were confirmed by the electorate through a “Yes or No” electoral voting system, conducted in line with ENSIEC law.

The chairman said the councillorship election was contested in 10 of the 260 wards in four local government areas including Awgu, Nkanu West and Udi with one ward each, noting that there was no ballot for unopposed candidates as they were automatically elected in line with the ENSIEC law.

The chairman said the councillorship election recorded 273 voided votes, while four political parties including the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), All Progressives Congress (APC), African Liberation Party and the PDP participated in the poll.

Eneh however expressed dismay at the apathy witnessed in the elections and urged the electorate to always come out and vote during elections as part of their civic responsibility.
