A former Governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has lost his return bid to the Senate.
Sir Kelvin Chukwu is the younger brother of Oyibo Chukwu who was murdered days before the 2023 Presidential election.
The LP candidate polled 69, 136 to beat Chimaroke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who scored 48, 701 votes.
Kelvin replaced his brother, Oyibo Chukwu, who was murdered few days to the Feb. 25 presidential and National Assembly elections.
The former Enugu State governor has been enmeshed in several controversies in the build up to the election.
He was listed as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the just concluded 2023 presidential election, despite being a PDP senator.
As a result, he got himself into trouble as the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP expelled him from the party.
But he was able to contest the Senatorial election through a court ruling, after he challenged the PDP’s decision to withdraw him from the poll.
