The Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), on Thursday, announced the results of the February 23, 2022 Local Government Elections.
It declared the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winners of all the 17 chairmanship and 260 councillorship seats in the state.
The elected chairmen were issued with a Certificate of Return.
The Chairman of ENSIEC, Mike Ajogwu, who announced the results at ENSIEC headquarters in Enugu, said the commission “thoroughly” went through the records of the ad hoc staff across the wards and local government areas to confirm the results of the election.
According to him, “PDP cleared the seats in councillorship elections all through. They won in all the wards.”
However, ajogwu explained that the elected councilors were not invited for the declaration of the results because of their large number.
The ENSIEC chairman praised journalists for their coverage of the elections.
The PDP has been winning all the positions in the local elections in the state for several years now.
Besides the 17 local government areas, Enugu State has 260 political wards.
