It’s candidate, Kelvin Chukwu defeated the incumbent and former Governor of the State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani who lost his return bid to the Senate.
Kelvin who replaced his brother, Oyibo Chukwu, who was murdered few days to the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections, polled 69, 136 votes to beat Nnamani, the leader of the Ebeano political group, who scored 48, 701 votes.
