Kelvin Chukwu, the younger brother of the late Oyibo Chukwu, has won the nomination as the Labour Party (LP) candidate for the Enugu east senatorial district.
Oyibo Chukwu and five of his supporters were killed when gunmen attacked his convoy, with the murder prompting the suspension and rescheduling of the senatorial district election.
In a new party primary held on Sunday, Kelvin Chukwu emerged as the winner, defeating Uchenna Ogbodo, Chinedu Nneji, and Christian Onyeni with 223 votes. Following his victory, Kelvin pledged to continue his late brother’s work and bring pride to the people of Enugu East.
