The candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in the Enugu North Senatorial District by-election, Bishop Oscar Ossai, has rejected the outcome of the poll, alleging widespread irregularities and electoral malpractices during the exercise.
Ossai, in a statement issued on Monday, described the June 20 by-election as lacking credibility and transparency, insisting that the process failed to reflect the genuine choice of voters in the senatorial district.
The cleric-turned-politician said his position followed what he described as a comprehensive review of the conduct of the election by the party, its agents, supporters and other stakeholders.
According to him, the NDC does not recognise the result declared by the electoral authorities.
