Jude Imagwe on Saturday emerged the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the January 28 bye-election for the Etsako Federal Constituency in Edo State.
Imagwe, who emerged the party candidate through consensus, was the former Senior Special Assistant on Youths and Students Matters to former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
The Etsako Federal Constituency was declared vacant after the occupant, Philip Shaibu, was elected deputy to Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The Chairman, PDP Electoral Committee, Tony Omoaghie, said only one candidate was vying for the ticket, adding that delegates eventually harmonised the process.
Omoaghie said: “The process has been harmonised and delegates unanimously adopted Jude Imagwe since there is no other candidates contesting for the seat.
“As the chairman of this electoral committee, I declare Mr Jude Imagwe as winner of the primaries.”
Imagwe thanked the delegates for giving him the mandate and assured members that the party would emerge victorious come January 28.
