At the end of the primary election, whoever wins would be the PDP flagbearer in the Anambra state governorship election which is slated for 18th November. 

One of the aspirants, Akolisa Ufodike, was screened out of the race for the party's ticket, on the grounds that he had dual citizenship. The Constitution specifies that anyone to run for governor in Nigeria must possess only Nigerian citizenship.
