In obedience to a court order, the Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Monday elected a new state chairman, Daniel Nwafor.
The party also elected other members of the state working committee.
The election, which took place at the Imo International Convention Centre, Owerri, was monitored by the representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission from Owerri office.
The State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha was in attendance, but his deputy, Eze Madumere was absent.
Other bigwigs that were absent at the congress includes senators Benjamin Uwajumogu, Ifeanyi Araraume, Hope Uzodimma, Osita Izunaso and other top members of the party.
The party had, on Friday and Saturday, elected wards and local government area officers amidst heavy security presence.
It will be recalled that an Owerri Federal High Court had earlier ordered fresh congresses in the state. The court had nullified the one earlier conducted by the Hilary Eke-led state working committee members.
Chairman of the Congress Committee, Adesayo Ojo, expressed satisfaction over the conduct of the exercise, noting that the exercise conformed with the rules of the party.
