Senator Francis Alimikhena has been elected as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP senatorial candidate for Edo North in the 2023 election.
At an emergency party primary election held Saturday in Auchi, Senator Alimikhena polled 181 votes to win the ticket.
The primary followed the withdrawal of the winner of May 23 exercise, Victoria Edelokun from the race for personal reasons.
It will be recalled that Senator Alimikhena recently defected to PDP after withdrawing his membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC
