He was declared the winner after scoring 977 votes; Moghalu polled 589 votes; Chukwuka Monye got 339 votes.

The defeat of Moghalu is being discussed on social media. The aspirant is yet to react as of press time.
In his reaction, Monye tweeted: “ADC primaries is done. I appreciate Prof. Moghalu and other credible aspirants for a spirited fight even though we didn’t make it.
“The fight to rescue this country from the brink of disaster is still on. Monye is committed to this. Will communicate who we will support.”
