The field may get narrower for Senator Uche Ekwunife as pioneer national woman leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Sharon Ikeazor, has indicated interest to contest the Anambra Cen­tral Senatorial District rerun on the platform of the party.
Ikeazor, who has held several positions in the party, would have Ekwunife, Ambassador Jerry Ugokwe and others to contend with in the fight for the ticket.
Speaking when she submitted her letter of intent to the state Chairman of the party, Mr. Emeka Ibe at the state secretariat, Ikeazor said she had garnered enough experience to serve her state and people in that capacity and would bring her experience in par­tisan politics to bear in the Senate if elected.
She vowed to represent the interest of the party with pride and great honour if given the ticket and eventually wins the seat, adding that she would ensure that laws and policies that would be in line with the belief and principles of President Muham­madu Buhari’s administration were pursued.
Responding, Ibe expressed the joy of the party that Ikeazor joined the race and assured her that the party would follow due process in bringing out its candidate for the election.
