The governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has emerged the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state’s governorship election.

The governor’s emergence as the Edo PDP governorship candidate for Edo 2020 came after his only rival in the PDP primary election, Ken Imasuagbon, stepped down for the Edo Governor to return unopposed.

Imasuagbon, who had previously vowed not to step down for Obaseki prior to the primary election, announced his withdrawal from the race a few minutes to the commencement of the party Governorship Primaries for the governorship election scheduled for September 2020.
