Ned Nwoko, Billionaire Husband of Nollywood Actress, Regina Daniels, has clinched the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to contest the Delta North Senatorial District Election in 2023.
The former member of the House of Representatives polled 242 delegates’ votes to defeat his rival, Paul Osaji who scored 67 votes.
Nwoko who is vying for the Senatorial Seat for the third time after previous failed attempts will now hoist the Party’s flag to represent the Anioma Nation as Delta North is fondly called.
A total of 310 delegates from 98 wards across the nine Local Government Areas of the District were accredited for the primary election which held in Asaba, the State capital.
The Grand Patron of the National Association of Online Security Reporters, NAOSRE, contested in 2011 on the platform of Democratic Peoples Party, DPP and lost to incumbent Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State.
He again lost at the 2019 PDP senatorial primary to incumbent Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who has now defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
In next year’s National Assembly, Nwoko would be slugging it with Nwaoboshi who will fly the APC flag.
