Umahi wins Ebonyi South Senatorial ticket after losing APC Presidential ticket to Tinubu

Days after losing the APC Presidential ticket to Bola Tinubu, the Governor of Ebonyi state, David Umahi, has won the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) rescheduled Senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South.

His younger brother, Austin Umahi, had emerged as the winner of the election two weeks ago.

Shortly after he lost at the presidential primary, the party canceled the senatorial primary election for Ebonyi South and rescheduled it for Thursday night, June 9th.

The rescheduled Ebonyi South APC Senatorial primary election was held at Afikpo North Local Government Council, with Governor Umahi clinching the party’s ticket.
