Former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has picked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for Bayelsa West Senatorial District.
The former governor polled 57 votes to emerge as the consensus candidate following the withdrawal of his main challenger, Donald Daunemigha.
The two-time chairman of Ekeremor Local Government Area had earlier resigned his appointment to contest the primary election.
Declaring Dickson as the winner, the returning officer, Gospower Ake said a total of 62 ad hoc delegates from Sagbama and Ekeremor local governments areas participated in the exercise.
Dickson described the process as free, fair and transparent, saying the outcome was the popular wish of the people.
He thanked all the delegates and his supporters for believing in him and promised to continue to fight and work for the interest of the people when he eventually returns to the senate.
He also warned the people against any form of electoral violence during the forthcoming election and urged them not to let themselves be used as a tool for any electoral violence.
Immediate former Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief Benson Agadaga, picked the party’s ticket for Bayelsa East Senatorial District comprising Nembe, Brass and Ogbia LGAs.
Agadaga scored 67 votes to beat his closest rival, Barrister Rex Ogbuku who scored 41 votes.
A Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) retired, Mr Nyenami Odual, polled two votes.
