Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the senator representing Nasarawa west, has been elected as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Muhammadu Badaru, governor of Jigawa, coordinated the exercise.
Using the voice vote system, the APC delegates at the convention approved Adamu as the new national chairman of the party.
The vote was taken at a few minutes past 11pm on Saturday.
Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State, who had emerged as a consensus candidate, was not among those who initially expressed interest in the chairmanship position. However, he was later drafted into the race by the Presidency and some governors.
