The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won all the 260 councillor seats in the 17 local government areas of Enugu State during Saturday's local government election in the state.
Christian Ngwu, a professor and Chairman of the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), stated this while declaring the results on Monday in Enugu.
Mr Ngwu said the commission had delayed announcing the results of the councillor elections because it was reviewing them.
The electoral commission on Sunday declared the PDP the winner of all 17 presidential seats in the state.
Mr Ngwu, also an electoral officer in charge of the elections, said ENSIEC carefully compiled and analysed the results to ensure there were no errors or violations of electoral law.
“The PDP won all the 260 councillor seats in the 260 political wards of the state. The elections were duly conducted and were extremely peaceful, fair, free and credible.
“ENSIEC guaranteed a level playing field for the 17 political parties that participated in the elections held on Saturday.
