The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Ogbaru Federal Constituency election, Afam Victor Ogene, has been declared the winner of the supplementary election held on Saturday.
Ogene, a former editor of The Source magazine, and former House of Representatives member defeated the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chukwuma Onyema and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Arinze Awogu.
The election had been declared inconclusive on February 25, as a result of sundry issues, including violence.
Meanwhile, from the results of votes already collated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Ogene had been in the lead with over 1,000 votes.
However, from votes cast during the supplementary election on Saturday, the PDP candidate scored the highest number of votes while the APGA candidate followed, with the LP candidate coming third.
