ELECTIONS: Moghalu happy, says YPP one Senate seat win is ‘no small feat’

The performance of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) at the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections has been commended by its Presidential Candidate Prof. Kingsley Moghalu.

In a statement issued on Monday, Moghalu who expressed his disappointment over the failure of card readers in his ward during last Saturday’s polls commended his party and supporters for “changing the narrative” of Nigeria’s political history.

He said, the party, whose candidate Ifeanyi Ubah has been able to clinch the Anambra South senatorial seat, defeating candidates from the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressive Grand Alliance with 87, 081 votes is no small feat.

“I am proud that with your support, my contesting for the office of the President and our issue-based strategic campaign over the past 12 months have fundamentally altered the narrative in Nigerian politics going forward. This in itself is no small achievement.
