Ezeokenwa made the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Awka, while reacting to Chukwuma Soludo’s victory at the just concluded poll.
INEC declared Soludo winner of the November 8 governorship election.
Returning Officer and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Benin, Professor Edogah Omoregie, announced on Sunday in Awka, that Soludo of APGA won the election with 422,664 votes.
Soludo defeated his closest rival, Chief Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress, who scored 99,445 votes.
According to the chairman, Anambra has never witnessed an election conducted like that of November 8 in the past.
“INEC deserves commendation for ensuring transparency and fairness throughout the process,” he said.
Ezeokenwa also appreciated residents of the state and the media for their peaceful conduct and cooperation during the election.
“I thank residents for their exemplary behaviour and for maintaining peace before, during and after the polls. I also commend the media for their professionalism in reporting the process,” he added.
