Mrs. Uche Ekwunife of the All Progressives Grand Alliance was on Thursday, declared winner of the rerun for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency held on Wednesday.
The Returning Officer, Prof. Emeka Ezeonu, who announced the results, said Ekwunife polled 29,005 votes to beat her closest rival, Ferdinand Nwankwo of the Action Congress of Nigeria, who got 21,948 votes.
Ekwunife, who is the chairman of the House Committee on Ecology as well as leader of Anambra and APGA Caucuses in the House, has extended a hand of fellowship to her opponent while dedicating her victory to God and to her constituents.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ebele Obi of the ACN was declared the winner of the rerun for Idemili South State Assembly seat.
Obi defeated the immediate past member of the House of Assembly and candidate of APGA, Mr. Tony Ezekwelu, and Mr. Ifeanyi Igwe of the PDP to emerge winner.
Obi will become the sixth ACN member in the State House of Assembly which only last week swore in Mr. Victor Okoye of Anambra West to replace Tony Nwabunwanne of APGA, following his victory at the Court of Appeal, Enugu in December.
