Senator Chimaroke Nnamani representing Enugu East Senatorial District, has formally withdrawn his membership from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), following his defeat to Labour Party (LP) candidate in Enugu State.
Kevin Chukwu of Labour Party clinched the seat after having polled 69,136 votes to defeat Nnamani, who scored 48,701 votes.
The election was held last Saturday, following the murder of former LP standard-bearer Oyibo Chukwu, three days before the initial February 25 date.
Nnamani, in a statement on Monday, said after consultations with his associates and constituents alike, he had decided to quit the PDP on account of irreconcilable differences with the National leadership of the party.

Nevertheless, Nnamani reaffirmed his acquaintance with the President-elect and promised to continue to partner with him.
