The candidate of the Young
Progressive Party, YPP in the Saturday’s National Assembly elections, Dr.
Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has emerged winner of Anambra South Senatorial seat.
Dr. Ubah who polled 87,081
votes defeated the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, All
Progressives Congress, APC, All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, Chiefs Chris
Ubah, Andy Ubah, Nicholas Ukachukwu, who polled 52,462, 13,245 and 51,269
votes, respectively.
Speaking to Newsmen shortly
after the results were announced at the secretariat of Nnewi North Local
Government, by Professor M.N Umenweke of the Faculty of Law, Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Senator Ubah dedicated his victory to the people of the senatorial
zone as he pledged his best for the task ahead.
Ubah left APGA for YPP
after the leaders of the party disqualified him for the primary election of the
party to pave way for the wife of the late leader of the party, Amb. Bianca
Ojukwu who also showed interest in the seat.
Ubah also made history by
contesting on a relatively unknown party to sack an incumbent senator, Andy Uba
of APC who also doubled as the state chairman of President Buhari campaign
council in Anambra.
