Dennis Idahosa, a member of the House Representatives in Edo State, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in the state.
Idahosa, in the primary election at Edo State on Saturday, polled a total vote of 40,483 to become the candidate of the APC in the September 21 governorship election in the state.
Announcing the results, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, who is also the chairman of the APC primary election committee, said that having polled the highest number of votes among the nine aspirants, Idahosa becomes the candidate for the party.
He also 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.
