Anambra State All Progressive Grand Alliance party yesterday conducted their congress, for the first time since the inception of the party.<\/p>\n

The congress held at the Women Development Centre Awka, under supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant bodies.<\/p>\n

Those present included the State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, Deputy, Mr. Emeka Sibeudu, legislators from both the federal and state levels, the party Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and the Assistant Secretary of the party as well as delegates from the twenty one local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n

Accreditation began by 10:15 am with delegates nominating their candidates, and voting commenced at half past eleven.<\/p>\n

Voting stopped at 2:20pm and thereafter counting started. Chairman of the congress committee announced the result in which Honorable Egwuoyibo Okoye, a former member of the state house of assembly emerged the winner as he was elected unopposed. The new executive officers were immediately inaugurated into office by the Acting Chairman, APGA Board of Trustee, Dr. Tim Menakaya.<\/p>\n

The party members say they cherish the stability of the party which the congress is one good step towards its achievement, it is therefore hoped that the new executive will also work in line with that vision ahead of the 2014 governorship election.<\/p>\n
