The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has elected a member of the House Representatives, Dennis Idahosa, as its governorship flagbearer for the September 21 governorship election in the state.
Idahosa was declared winner after polling a total vote of 40,483 at the APC governorship primary election, which took place in Edo State on Saturday.
The chairman of the Edo APC primary election committee, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, declared Idahosa as the candidate for the party, scoring the highest number of votes among the nine aspirants.
He said there was a mix-up on where the secretariat of the committee was, noting that the Protea Hotel and not the Lushville Hotel, where results were announced earlier today, was the authentic secretariat.
