Anambra South Senator-elect, Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has promised to continue with the legacy of late Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah.
Nwachukwu, while speaking with newsmen on Sunday, also assured the people of his constituency of quality representation.
The Returning Officer at the INEC Office in Nnewi, Prof. Frank Orjiako, declared Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu of APGA the winner of the Anambra South Senatorial seat.
Nwachukwu polled 90,408 votes to defeat his closest rival, Chief Azuka Okwuosa, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who polled 19,847 votes.
The death of Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah, who represented Anambra South in the Senate in July, 2024 necessitated the conduct of a bye-election which was contested by 12 political parties on Aug. 16.
The Senator-elect appreciated Gov. Chukwuma Soludo and the APGA family for making his victory possible.
He also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a free and fair bye-election in Anambra South.
“APGA’s next focus will be the Nov. 8 governorship election, which I know Gov. Soludo is not contesting with anyone”
