While ten out of the thirteen governorship aspirants are from the Owerri zone, two are from the Okigwe zone and one comes from the Orlu zone.
The Peoples Democratic, party, PDP, is also expected to hold its governorship primary in the same month of April in the state as already two governorship aspirants have been cleared by the party to contest for the governorship ticket.
The former governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha and PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, are to jostle for the party’s guber ticket, scheduled to hold on April 14, 2023.
Recall that both Emeka Ihedioha and Sen. Samuel Anyanwu were the only two aspirants that equally slugged it out at the party primary election held in 2020 and Ihedioha emerged as the flag bearer for which he contested the election and won before he was removed by the Supreme Court judgement.
