Mr Chidi Chidebe on
Thursday emerged as the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in
Anambra, following a congress held at the Women Development Centre, Awka.
Chidebe, a former PDP
Youth Leader in Anambra polled a total of 1,080 to defeat Amechi Onowu who
scored 960 votes.
Charles Anierobi was
elected Deputy Chairman while Mr Ebele Onunkwo emerged as Secretary of the
party.
Ifeanyi Ossai, the Deputy
Governor of Enugu State, who was the Chairman of the Anambra PDP Congress
Committee, urged the new Chairman to rebuild, restore, and reconcile all
aggrieved party members in the state.
Ossai said Anambra was
critical to the party and victory could only be achieved when all members were
united under one umbrella while urging the new leadership to work with those
who contested but did not win.
“Last week, when we
failed to conduct the congress, I assured PDP members in Anambra that it would
be free, fair, and transparent. I am happy that this came to fruition,” he
said.
