National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Samuel Anyanwu, has emerged the PDP governorship candidate for the November 11 Imo State Governorship Election.
This followed the PDP’s primary held on Wednesday.
According to the State Organising Secretary of the PDP, Lawrence Biado, the 7-man electoral panel constituted by the National Working Committee headed by Kenneth Okon was present to monitor the primary in Imo.
However, a former Governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha, was conspicuously absent.
Ihedioha had weeks ago pulled out from the PDP governorship race.
Anyanwu is expected to challenge the reelection of Governor Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
