Uncomfirmed reports reaching Vanguard indicate that Governor Sullivan Chime seeking re-election on the platform of PDP may have swept the polls in the three senatorial zones of the state.

In his Enugu West Zone comprising Udi, Ezeagu, Oji River, Awgu and Aninri local government areas, it was a landslide victory for the governor as majority of the voters went for the PDP in demonstration of their determination to retain the governorship seat in the zone.

The people of Enugu North (Nsukka zone) from where two major opponents of the governor, Dr Dan Shere of People for Democratic Change, PDC and Chief Okey Ezea of Labour Party emerged, also voted massively for Chime.

Although the two opposition candidates got appreciable votes within their immediate political environment, the PDP was clearly in the lead going by polling booth results declared Tuesday.

On the other hand, the Enugu East Zone(Nkanu land) where the leader of PDC and former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani hails also gave Chime large votes.

PDP leaders like Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, Chief Jim Nwobodo, Chief Ken Nnamani, Senator Ayogu Eze, the state PDP Chairman, Engr. Vita Abba and a governorship aspirant, Chief Anayo Onwuegbu all delivered their wards to the ruling party.

Major political appointees in the state especially the Commissioners and Special Advisers fought very hard and ensured that Chime wins in their homes.
