The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has swept all the chairmanship and positions in the 17 Local Government Areas in the council polls held on Saturday.
The Chairman of Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), Professor Christian Ngwu, who declared the results on Sunday in Enugu, said the Commission did an excellent job of conducting free, fair and credible polls.
Ngwu, who also doubles as the returning officer for the chairmanship positions for the polls, said that ENSIEC carefully collated and analysed the results to ensure that there were no mistakes.
He, however, said that the commission was yet to get a full compilation of results of the 260 ward councilorship positions declared at the various 17 council areas headquarters.
