Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the Chief promoter of "Afa Igbo Efuna", Willie Obiano, governor of Anambra state, members of the state house of assembly, LG chairmen and numerous other party faithfuls were in the upper chamber to witness Umeh's swearing-in.
In December 2015, Uche Ekwunife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was sacked by the appeal court following an appeal brought to it by Umeh.
The court ordered a rerun election which took place on Saturday.
