Obaze was announced elected by the Governor Dave Umahi who conducted the election with his Awka Ibom Counterpart, Emmanuel Udom.
He polled 672 votes to beat the duo of Dr Alex Obiogbolu and Mr Ifeanyi Ubah who scored 190 and 94 votes respectively. Two votes were declared invalid.
Of the seven aspirants running on the party’s platform, four had pulled out of the race.
While Prof Ufodike announced his withdrawal without reason, pledging to support any of the aspirants that emerged, Prince John Emeka, a former minister had hours before the election withdrawn from the race, citing alterations in the delegates list of the party as reason for his action.
Two women who were also in the race, Senator Stella Oduah, a serving senator and former Aviation minister and Hon Linda Ikpeazu, a serving member of the House of representatives, backed down.
