Frank Ibezim of the All Progressives Congress has been sworn in by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday, to represent the people of Imo-North Senatorial District.
The Clerk of the Senate, Ibrahim El-Ladan, administered the oath of office and oath of allegiance.
Ibezim replaced the late Benjamin Uwajumogu who died last year.
The bye-election to fill the vacant seat was held in December 2020. The APC won the seat but there was no clear candidate.
The Independent National Electoral Commission declared APC as winner but it did not declare any specific person as the occupant of the seat.
The issue lingered between Ifeanyi Ararume and Ibezim before the Supreme Court declare Ibezim as winner.
