Anyanwu clinchs Imo PDP governorship ticket

 

The national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Samuel Anyanwu, has emerged the governorship candidate of the party in Imo State.

Anyanwu emerged the candidate of the party in a primary election conducted at the state secretariat of the party in Owerri, the state capital, on Wednesday.

Anyanwu polled a total of 802 votes out of the 915 delegates to emerge the candidate of the party for the November 11 governorship election in the state.

The chairman of the election panel, Kenneth Okon, declared Anyanwu the candidate of the party after the exercise.

He was not challenged in the election after his only challenger and the immediate governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha, pulled out from the primary election.

Anyanwu served as the senator that represented Imo East senatorial district between 2015 and 2019, the period he served as the senate committee chairman on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.
