He said the winners of the councillorship positions had been announced in each of the 17 council secretariats.
Ajogwu said: “In what could be adjudged the freest and fairest election in the state, the PDP chairmanship candidates that contested the 2020 Local Council Election in Enugu State on Saturday defeated their opponents from 35 other political parties that vied in the election.”
The elected Chairman of Udenu local government area, Solomon Onah, commended governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s leadership style, saying he “had made Enugu a one-party state”.
He said: “Governor Ugwuanyi is a pragmatic leader. His leadership style has whittled opposition.
