Iwe said: “Dr Peter Mbah of PDP having satisfied the requirements of the law is hereby declared the winner and is duly returned elected.”
The controversies surrounding the results from Nkanu East and Nsukka Council Areas were earlier put to rest after the review of the voting by a Review Panel at INEC headquarters in Abuja.
The returning officer said the Review Panel upheld the electoral processes that produced the result of the Nsukka council area but had to adjust the votes of the Nkanu East council area.
