#Anambra2014: Confusion as 2 candidates emerge in separate PDP primaries

by ‘Jola Sotubo

Confusion has gripped the Anambra State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) after two winners emerged from the gubernatorial primary election.

According to reports, Senator Andy Uba on Saturday emerged the winner of  the People’s Democratic Party gubernatorial primary election  just as another candidate  was set to emerge from another primary convened by a faction of  the party recognized by the party’s leadership.

Analysts say that this portends confusion for the State PDP as two party members were set to lay claim to the candidacy of the party.

Uba contested alongside Ambassador Jerry Ugokwe, Chief Ugochukwu Okeke and Chief Emma Anosike.

He  pledged, after clinching the ‘ticket’ for the November gubernatorial poll, to ensure that the PDP emerged  victorious in the election.

At the time of filing this report, the faction of the party recognised by the PDP leadership was about to commence voting.

No fewer than 15,000 delegates from the 326 wards in the state were expected to participate in the exercise. The primary by the Kenneth Emeakayi faction  attracted a large number of party faithful against Uba’s group which had few people in attendance.
