In a rescheduled primary election, Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, emerged as the All Progressives Congress senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South.
On Wednesday, Umahi came in sixth place in the APC presidential primary in Abuja, where Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, was declared the winner with 1,271 votes.
Two weeks ago, the governor’s younger brother, Austin Umahi, was declared the winner of the senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South. However, after Umahi’s loss, the APC cancelled the earlier primary election and rescheduled it for Thursday night.
Umahi clinched the APC’s ticket in the rescheduled primary election, held at the Afikpo North Local Government Council.
