After losing his bid to emerge the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has picked the party’s ticket for Ebonyi South Senatorial district in the 2023 elections.
This is coming barely 72 hours after the governor contested the presidential primary of the ruling party but lost to Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor, at the party’s convention held in Abuja.
Umahi’s younger brother, Chief Austin Umahi, had emerged as the winner of the election two weeks ago.
The party cancelled the senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South and rescheduled it for Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Umahi clinched the ticket at the rescheduled primary election held at Afikpo North Local Government Council, Ebonyi.
