The former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman in Ebonyi State, Chief Silas Onu, has won the party’s ticket for the February 3 bye-election in Ebonyi South Senatorial District.
The seat was declared vacant by the Senate President, Godwill Akpabio, following the appointment of the former Senate Majority Leader, Dave Umahi, as Minister of Works by President Bola Tinubu.
The chairman of the PDP primary bye-election committee in the district, Mr. Lekan Rotimi, who announced the results of Monday’s election in the zone, said Onu polled 143 votes to defeat his only opponent, Senator Amah Nnachi, who scored zero votes in the exercise.
