Peter Okoye has emerged as the new state chairman of the Labour Party in Anambra following a congress held by the party.
Okoye's election marks a leadership transition for the party in the southeastern state. The congress, which brought together party delegates, produced a complete slate of new executives to lead the party at the state level.
The party did not immediately release full details of the election results or the margins by which Okoye won the chairmanship position. Sources within the party confirmed the congress held successfully and that voting took place without major incidents.
Okoye's emergence as chairman comes as the Labour Party continues to consolidate its presence in Anambra, where it contested the 2023 presidential election and other races. The party has been seeking to strengthen its organisational structure across states to prepare for future elections.
The full list of newly elected state executives includes positions beyond the chairmanship, though specific names of other officeholders were not immediately detailed in party announcements. Party officials said the new leadership would be inaugurated and begin work immediately.
