The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that the conduct of election for Enugu East Senatorial District will now take place on March 11, 2023.

INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, announced the suspension of the senatorial district election on Friday during a media briefing at the national collation centre in Abuja following the death of the Labour Party candidate, Oyibo Chukwu.

“The party conveyed its intention to participate in the election for that constituency by replacing its deceased candidate. This request is in line with the provision of the law, section 34(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022,” he said.

“The Labour Party has provided satisfactory evidence of the death of its candidate. Consequently, the commission has suspended the election in the senatorial district as provided by law.
