Mr. Fatai Adams as been elected as the new chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State.
Over 2000 delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, thronged the Solton International Hotel, Ondo State, to elect the New Chairman of the party.
Adams, who was the immediate PDP Vice Chairman in the State, polled 1,343 votes to defeat his co-contestant, Dennis Alonge-Niyi, who got 369 votes in the State Congress conducted in Akure, the state capital.
PDP is set to battle the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the October Governorship election.
However, the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi, was not at the party’s congress.
Ajayi shunned the congress as rumours intensified that he was set to dump the party after he missed out on the Governorship ticket and plans are on ground for his defection to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
recall that he dumped the APC for the PDP just a few months ago in search of a party ticket for the guber election.
