Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu on Monday polled  27, 838 votes to emerge the winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Edo State.

The exercise held across the 192 wards of the 18 local government areas of the state

Chairman of the APC Primary Election Committee and Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma made this known in Benin City, the state capital.

Ize-Iyamu’s rivals, Pius Odubu secured 3,776 votes and Osaro Obaze scored  2,724 votes respectively.

Following this development, he automatically becomes the APC flagbearer for the September 19 governorship election in the state.

Reacting to the electoral process, Uzodinma said the election was a formality in accordance with the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the other aspirants had already stepped down before the polls.

APC members had earlier thronged their respective wards to vote in the party’s primary election for the candidate of their choice.
