The aspiration of the duo of Rt Hon Uche Onyeagucha and Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume\u2019s son to be elected Senator\u00a0\u00a0have been dashed following their lost of votes to opponents.<\/p>\n
While Onyeagucha contested for Imo East (Owerri Zone) Senate under the PDP platform, Araraume Jnr gunned for Imo North (Okigwe Zone) Senate under the Labour Party.<\/p>\n
The last Saturday\u2019s February 25, 2023 polls saw the duo of Onyeagucha and Araraume\u00a0\u00a0Jnr lost to their rivals, Ezenwa Onyewuchi (Labour Party), and Patrick Ndubueze (APC), respectively.<\/p>\n
Luck smiled on Onyewuchi, the sitting Senator for Owerri Zone when he quickly grabbed the Labour Party ticket after losing the PDP primaries to Onyeagucha.<\/p>\n
However, the Peter Obi wave paved way for him thereby guaranteeing his election for the red chamber.<\/p>\n
Both Onyeagucha and Ezenwa slugged it out for the PDP ticket, but he later had the last smile under the Labour Party.<\/p>\n
For Okigwe Seat, the young Ifeanyi Araraume Jnr almost cruised to victory, but was cut hands down by his APC kinsman, Patrick Ndubueze, a former Reps member.<\/p>\n
Although no authoritative information has been unraveled so far from both parties, it is suspected that both would seek a redress in court.<\/p>\n
Feelers have it that both have the notion that the results which produced the announced winners were marred by irregularities.<\/p>\n
Again, it was believed that Owerri zone which happened to be the catchment area for the umbrella party could have given a strong electoral block for Onyeagucha\u2019s victory. Unfortunately, Labour Party clinched the opportunity.<\/p>\n
On Araraume Jnr, his blood ties with the father gave other contenders worry that he would win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
