The Independent National Electoral Commission on Friday declared Ugonna Ozurigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party the winner of the February 25 House of Representatives election conducted in Nwangele/ Nkwerre/ Isu/ Njaba Federal Constituency of Imo State. INEC had on February 27 declared the election inconclusive, saying that elections didn’t take place in parts of Njaba LGA. But the PDP candidate challenged the electoral umpire’s decision to declare the election inconclusive. It was after the reviews of the contentious issues that INEC, after two months, declared the PDP candidate winner of the election. He said he was going back to the House of Representatives to improve the lot of his constituents.
