They called for a level playing field for every contestant, insisting that any move to introduce strange guidelines and disenfranchise anyone could lead to a crisis.

It was disclosed that the market leadership has been on a 6-year rotational basis between the three senatorial zones in the state. Sources said in line with the said agreement, the incumbent chairman, Chief Nwatu Ugochukwu, who completed the 6-year period for Enugu East Senatorial zone, was supposed to give way for someone from Enugu North Senatorial zone. Nwatu is standing as a candidate in the November 6 election.
