Senator Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, has emerged as the party’s governorship candidate for the November 11 Imo State gubernatorial poll.
Anyanwu’s emergence followed the PDP primary election held on Wednesday at the party’s secretariat along the Okigwe Road in Owerri.
Anyanwu is expected to challenge the re-election of the incumbent Governor of the state, Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress.
The PDP Organising Secretary in the state, Lawrence Biado, said the seven-man electoral panel constituted by the National Working Committee, headed by Kenneth Okon, was present to monitor the primary election in Imo State.
It was however gathered that a former governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha, was conspicuously absent during the primary election.
