Former governor of Enugu state and senator representing Enugu East District, Chimaroke Nnamani, has been sent to ‘early’ retirement by Kelvin Chukwu of the Labour Party (LP).
Chukwu polled a total of 69,136 votes to defeat Nnamani of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 48,701 votes.
Kelvin replaced his brother, Oyibo Chukwu, who was m¥rdered few days to the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Conceding defeat, Nnamani in a statement on Sunday, March 19, said: “The result of the election is in tandem with the rave of the moment in the South East zone who have identified with Labour Party. A contrary result would have negated the trend.
I wish the Enugu East Senator-Elect a successful tenure in the upper legislative chamber.”
