…As Labour Party Candidate Appeals for Continued Backing in Enugu State House of Assembly Rerun Election
The campaign of Bright Emeka Ngene, a dynamic legal practitioner and incumbent representative for Enugu South Urban constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly, this morning, issued a heartfelt appeal to supporters and electorates ahead of the upcoming rerun election scheduled for Saturday, February 3, 2024. The rerun follows a court order by the election appeal tribunal, responding to a petition filed by Ngene’s opponent in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sam Ngene, challenging certain votes cast during the previous election.
In the election held on March 18, 2023, Bright Ngene secured a substantial victory with 5,876 votes, while his opponent, Sam Ngene, garnered only 209 votes. However, the number of votes in dispute in the area stands at 4,257, prompting the need for a rerun to resolve the issue and ensure electoral fairness.
As Bright Ngene, known for his dedication to the people and his pro-bono legal services to those in need, humbly requests the affected voters to reaffirm their support by casting their ballots for him under the Labour Party’s (LP) banner.
