The recently concluded All Progressives Congress, APC, primary for the Senatorial Election has once again confirmed continuous popularity and acceptance of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, as he recorded landslide victory.

The former Abia State Governor won his challenger, Philip Nto, by wide margins across all the five local government areas that make up the Abia North Senatorial District.

Results collated from the primary election showed overwhelming support for Senator Kalu in Ohafia, Arochukwu, Bende, Isikwuato, and Umunneochi Local Government Areas, with the former Abia State Governor reportedly dominating in almost all the wards.

In Ohafia LGA, for example, results from wards, including Etiti, Agbo, Ameke, Agboji, Ohafor, and Okamu show landslide victory for Kalu, with some reports saying that Philip Nto even got no votes in some of the wards.

In Arochukwu LGA, the situation was almost the same. Here Senator Kalu won overwhelmingly in wards like Ututu, Ikwun Ihechiowa, Ohafor Abam, Arochukwu Ward 1, Arochukwu Ward 2, and other polling areas.

The APC primary results also showed strong performances for Senator Kalu in Bende, Isikwuato, and Umunneochi LGAs, further consolidating his dominance across the Abia North Senatorial District.

Party supporters who spoke after the exercise described the outcome as a reflection of Senator Kalu’s political strength, grassroots structure, and longstanding influence within the APC in Abia North.

The primary election was closely monitored by party stakeholders and supporters across the district, with many describing the outcome as a major boost for the APC ahead of the general election.
