Also LGA party chairmen and LGA national delegates traceable to the group were favoured.<\/p>\n<p>The implication is that other major contenders to the position, especially those on the line up of Nnamdi Anyaehie and Chuks Ajaelu have lost out in the scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p>The chances of Ezekwem became bright when the Supreme Court decided that Markafi was the rightful chairman of the party.
