The raw material for politics is population, as the person with the highest number of votes will be declared winner both in the primary election and the general election.
With the coming into force of the Electoral Amendment Act 2022, which confers power solely on the three man delegates to nominate candidates for various elective positions, it has become necessary to place the facts before the public.
Available facts indicate that Enugu North senatorial zone, has the highest voting strength in Enugu State and should ordinarily be the determinant of electoral victory in Enugu State but the zone has not explored the opportunity anytime, rather the zone seems subservient to the minority, albeit the recent reawakening due to Governor Ugwuanyi’s inclusive government.
Here are the facts and projection of votes based on the number of Local Government Areas and Wards in Each Senatorial zone and implications.
Enugu North Senatorial zone
Nsukka = 20
Igbo Etiti =20
Igbo Eze South =16
Uzo Uwani = 16
Udenu =10
Igbo Eze North =20
Total number of Wards=102
Total number of delegates = 306
Enugu East senatorial zone
Enugu East =12
Enugu North =13
Enugu North =13
Isi-Uzo =11
Nkanu East =14
Nkanu West =14
Total Number of Wards = 77
Total Number of delegates = 234
Enugu West Senatorial Zone
Aninri =10
Awgu =11
Ezeagu =20
Udi =20
Oji River =20
Total number of wards = 81
Total number of delegates = 243
Total Number of Ward Delegates in Enugu State = 780
Total number of National Delegates = 17
Total Number of Disabled Delegates = 17
Grand Total Number of Delegates in Enugu State = 814
Out of the 814 delegates, Enugu North Senatorial Zone has 318 delegates, leaving the other two senatorial zone with 496.
In view of the political raw material above, Enugu North Senatorial Zone will determine who becomes the next governor of Enugu State.
Ugwuanyi Decides is the Code.
And the Justice of the matter is on the side of Isi-Uzo.
