Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) rescheduled senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South Senatorial District.

The governor’s younger brother, Chief Austin Umahi, had emerged as the winner of the election two weeks ago.

The rescheduled Ebonyi South APC Senatorial primary election was held at Afikpo North Local Government Council, with Governor Umahi clinching the party’s ticket.

The governor had contested the presidential primary of the APC but lost to the eventual winner, Bola Tinubu at the party’s convention in Abuja.

Shortly after he lost, the party cancelled the senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South and rescheduled it for Thursday night.

It would be recalled that in a similar fashion, Bala Mohamed, Bauchi State Governor, who had earlier contested for the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and lost to the eventual winner, Atiku Abubakar later went ahead to contest for a rerun of the state governorship primary after the previous winner, Ibrahim Kashim had stepped down.
