He pulled 1,952 votes after three aspirants of the party before voting commenced stepped down for him.

A total of number of 2,200 delegates voted in the primary election of which 70 votes were voided with total votes cast put at 2,022 votes.

He was announced after ratification by party delegates following the withdrawal of his main rival, Kenneth Imasuagbon.

With this development, Mr Obaseki will face his main rival, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the main election.
