Former First Lady of Anambra State Chief Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano on Sunday won the Anambra North Senatorial Primary election of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.
Mrs. Obiano defeated the former Chief Of Staff to her husband Primus Odili in a tension-soaked and keenly contested election which has been a subject of controversy within the party.
Obiano scored a total of 152 votes to beat Odili who scored a total of 120 votes while the other aspirant Sam Onwuteaka and Tony Nnacheta got two votes each
According to the Returning Officer Mr. Ikenna Osuji who described the election as peaceful, both the delegates and the aspirants conducted themselves in an orderly manner.
The primary election was scheduled to hold at Otuocha the local government headquarters of Anambra East but was postponed to Sunday due to security challenges.
But the primary election for the Anambra South Senatorial District of the party is inconclusive and the date for the election is yet to be decided.
The Anambra South election is between their term National Assembly member Chris Azubogu, Akachukwu Nwamkpo, and Ben Nwankwo.
