A former Chairman of Egbedore Local Government area of Osun State, Mr Bamidele Salam, has won the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2019 general election to represent Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore and Ejigbo Federal Constituency at the National Assembly.
Salam polled 226 votes to defeat his co-aspirant, Mr Ayo Asalu who scored 194 votes in a keenly contested election.
Speaking with newsmen immediately after being declared winner of the race, Salam dedicated the victory to God, promising to run an issue-based campaign ahead of the general election in February.
He thanked the Adeleke political dynasty and leaders of the party in the Federal Constituency for the opportunity to represent the people in the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
The former local government helmsman promised to rededicate himself to offering selfless service for the advancement of good governance, development and the welfare of the people.
