Voting in the primary election was held at Chuba Ikpeazu Township Stadium in Onitsha.
Mrs Obiano polled 152 votes, while Odili got 120 votes. Two other aspirants, Junior Onwuteaka and Tony Nnacheta each got 2 votes.
The primary election was moved to Sunday after violence erupted at Otuocha Stadium in Anambra East Local Government Area on Saturday forcing the committee to relocate.
Ebelechukwu has been having a tough time with her ambition as 2 people who have been supporting her husband allegedly ganged up to stop her from picking the ticket.
The wife of the former governor of Anambra State will battle Princess Stella Oduah, a former Minister of Aviation for a seat in the Senate in 2023.
