Following a fresh primary election conducted by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for Aboh Mbaise/ Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency in Imo State, Friday January 27, 2023, Engr. Albert Agulanna has re-emerged as the party’s candidate, beating his rival, Dr Ugochukwu Uzoma, with 50 votes to 2.
The Court of Appeal Owerri Division, presided over by Justice Rita Nosakhare Pemu, had voided the primary election of the party for the constituency earlier won by Engr. Agulana based on the issue of venue and ordered the party to conduct a fresh primary within 14 days.
In a statement issued and made available to newsmen by Imo PDP through its State Publicity Secretary, Collins Opurozor, the party described the victory of Engr. Agulanna as refreshing, noting that “it is a reaffirmation of the faith and confidence which the people of Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency have in him.”
“Our party, therefore, thanks our stakeholders in the federal constituency for their patience and resilience as the party navigates through the setback, while appealing to our teeming members and supporters to remain firm in their decision to vote the PDP come February 25, 2023.”
