Smart Adeyemi, a former senator representing Kogi west, will slug it out with Dino Melaye, incumbent lawmaker representing the constituency, in next year’s elections.
Adeyemi is the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, while Melaye will fly the flag of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).In 2015, the reverse was the case, as Melaye was of the APC while Adeyemi ran under PDP.
At the APC primary on Thursday, Bonnie Eneh, chairman of the committee that conducted the election, said 1,893 votes were recorded at the exercise held at Kabba.
He said 13 votes were voided.
According to Eneh, Adeyemi polled 1,659 to defeat Toyin Akanle who polled 104 votes.
Melaye secured PDP’s ticket on Wednesday.
