The support group behind the late Senator Okey Ezea has thrown its weight behind the New Democrats Coalition candidate in the upcoming Enugu North Senatorial by-election. It is a move that keeps the political energy of a well-known figure alive in the district he once served.
Ezea held the Enugu North Senate seat under the Labour Party banner until his death in November 2025. He was also a political ally of Peter Obi, the NDC presidential candidate, which gives the group's endorsement a clear ideological thread.
With the by-election now approaching, the question is whether that loyalty and name recognition will be enough to carry the NDC over the line in a race that is already drawing serious attention.
