The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has cleared all the chairmanship positions in the council election held on Saturday.
Chairman of Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission, ENSIEC, Prof. Christian Ngwu, who declared the results said the Commission was thorough in its job of conducting free, fair and credible election.
Declaring the election as the fairest, Ngwu said they carefully collated and analysed the results to ensure that there were no mistakes.
