The primary was conducted by a party panel chaired by Dr. Obiorah Ifoh, in line with section 87(6) of the Electoral Act as amended.
Ifoh said ZLP boasts of grassroots support in all the 326 electoral wards across the 21 Local Government Areas.
The chieftain likened the forthcoming contest in Anambra Anambra to the fight between David and Goliath.
“ZLP has gained political strength from different states and has become among the top five political parties,” he said.
However, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has faulted the emergence of Senator Andy Uba as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming November 6 election.
