Senator Monday Okpebholo has been declared winner of the Edo All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary election.
Okpebholo won the party’s primary election with 12,433 votes in the primary election which was held across the 18 local government areas.
He defeated his closest rival, Dennis Idahosa, who scored 6541.
Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State had on February 17 declared a member of the House of Representatives, Dennis Idahosa, representing Ovia Federal Constituency, as winner of the primaries.
However, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling party upturned the victory and declared the election inconclusive.
The committee ordered that a supplementary primary be conducted on Thursday, and replaced Uzodinma with Otu as chairman.
