BREAKING: INEC Postpones Election
The Enugu East Senatorial election, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, February 25, 2023, has been postponed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The cancellation followed the assassination of Labour Party candidate for election, Barr. Oyibo Chukwu.
Chukwu and five others were allegedly set ablaze while returning to Enugu.
Hon Casmir Agbo, State Chairman of the Labour Party, described the candidate’s death as shocking.
Agbo, who spoke to journalists at the party’s secretariat, said the LP notified INEC of Chukwu’s death.
“INEC advised us and we met and wrote to INEC Abuja through the National Headquarters in line with Section 33 and 34. The party has 14 days to nominate another candidate for substitution.
“In line with the Electoral Ect, we have done what we ought to do and yesterday INEC cancelled the election. We will hold our primary election in the next 14 days.
“So the election has been cancelled and a new date will be fixed by INEC.”
