NAN reports that there was confusion in Anambra over the conduct of the primary election as two PDP factions held separate elections.
Ugochukwu Uba and Valentine Ozigbo were elected as the respective standard bearers in the November 6 poll.
While Mr Uba was elected candidate of the faction led by Chukwudi Imeaba, Mr Ozigbo was elected at an exercise organised by another faction.
