The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Aguata branch, at the weekend, held an election to elect new Executives that will pilot the affairs of the bar for the next twenty-four months. 

The election was held at Bar Secretariat premises, Aguata with an Open secret ballot system.

Though the election drew the presence of practising lawyers based in Aguata, Anambra State, it was marred by a low turnout of members due to the ravaging security situation of the area in recent times.

The results of the election as announced by the returning officer, Gabriel Ezekewe Esq declared Chief Victor Chukwura Ezeonwumelu Esq the winner of the election with 63 votes against his opponent, Sylvester Oluoba Esq who mustered only 28 votes.

Ezekewe who doubles as the electoral committee Chairman also declared Mrs O.J. Enemuo – Vice Chairman, Anayochukwu Ernest Egbo Esq – Secretary and O. S. Ezeagu – Assistant Secretary.
