Ossai declared that after a comprehensive assessment of the conduct of the election, he had concluded that no valid by-election took place in the senatorial district.
The senatorial candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Enugu North Senatorial District by-election, Bishop Oscar Ossai, has rejected the outcome of the poll conducted on June 20, 2026, describing the exercise as fundamentally flawed and incapable of reflecting the true will of the electorate.
In a statement issued, Ossai declared that after a comprehensive assessment of the conduct of the election, he had concluded that no valid by-election took place in the senatorial district.
According to him, the position reflects the views of the NDC leadership, party agents, election observers, stakeholders and supporters across the district.
"The electoral process fell short of the standards of credibility, transparency and fairness expected in a democratic election," he stated, adding that he completely rejected the result announced by the electoral authorities.
