The New Democratic Coalition (NDC) candidate in the Enugu North by-election, Bishop Oscar Ossai, has formally rejected the announced results. Ossai alleges significant irregularities and electoral malpractices marred the voting process. The NDC intends to challenge the outcome, citing concerns about the integrity of the election. Specific details regarding the nature of the alleged malpractices were not immediately available. This rejection throws the legitimacy of the Enugu North by-election into question and potentially signals a legal battle. The party has not yet announced its next steps beyond the initial rejection of the results. Further details are expected as the NDC prepares its formal challenge.
