How Many Members Are In The Enugu House Of Assembly?
The Enugu State House of Assembly comprises 24 members. Since 1999, all the 24 constituencies that constitute the Enugu State House of Assembly have consistently been represented by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, a notable shift occurred in the March 18th, 2023 election. This election marked a departure from the usual dominance of the PDP, as the Labour Party (LP) emerged as a formidable contender.
The LP gained traction, largely driven by the popularity of its Former Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. Out of the 24 constituencies, the LP secured victory in 14 seats, while the PDP retained 10 seats.
This outcome signified a major electoral milestone, breaking the long-standing monopoly of the PDP in the Enugu State House of Assembly.
