Anyanwu won the PDP ticket for the November 11 Imo State Governorship Election following the party’s primary held on Wednesday at the party’s secretariat along the Okigwe Road in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
According to the State Organising Secretary of the PDP, Lawrence Biado, the seven-man electoral panel constituted by the National Working Committee headed by Kenneth Okon is 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.
Senator Samuel Anyanwu is expected to challenge the reelection of Governor Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
KanyiDaily recalls that in January 2020, the Supreme Court sacked PDP’s Emeka Ihedioha as the governor of Imo State after barely seven months in office.
