This is the fourth House of Representatives seat that the LP would win in Enugu State which is considered a PDP state as it had also ways been governed by the party.
There are a total of eight federal constituencies in the state.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that the LP won the House of Representatives seats for Nsukka-Igbo-Eze South and Enugu East-Isi-Uzo Federal Constituencies in the state.
This newspaper also reported that the state governor and candidate of the PDP for Enugu North District, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, also lost his bid to represent the district in the Senate.
Mr Ugwuanyi was defeated by the LP candidate for the district.
The victories being recorded by the LP across the state have been linked to the "effect" of Peter Obi, the LP presidential candidate, who has been enjoying growing support across the South-east and some parts of South-south Nigeria.
