The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won all the 260 political ward councillorship seats in the 17 Local Government Areas in Enugu State during the council polls held on Saturday.
Prof. Christian Ngwu, the Chairman of Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), stated this while declaring the results on Monday in Enugu.
Ngwu said the commission delayed the announcement of the councillorship election results because it was scrutinising them.
ENSIEC had earlier on Sunday declared PDP winner of all the 17 Chairmanship positions in the state.
Ngwu, also the returning officer for the polls, said that ENSIEC carefully collated and analysed the results to ensure no mistakes or infractions to the electoral law.
“PDP won all 260 ward councillorship positions within the 260 political wards in the state.
“The election was duly conducted and it was most peaceful, fair, free and credible.
“ENSIEC ensured a level playing field for all 17 political parties that participated in the Polls held on Saturday.
“Full details of the councillorship election will come out and be made known to the public subsequently,” he said.
According to him, Certificate of Return will soon be issued by the commission to the winners of the chairmanship and councillorship positions.
The chairman said there was no substantial record of violence during the polls on Saturday.
“The commission is not aware of any violence or breakdown of law and order during the polls,” he said.
