Sorting of votes underway in APC presidential primary

The sorting of votes by national delegates is underway at the presidential primary election of the All Progressives Congress.

The ballot casting exercise to determine the fate of aspirants, which was carried out by 2,203 delegates, started at about 2.40 am and ended at 7.45 am.

The six-hour voting process ended with a few delegates still hanging around in a near-empty field of Eagle Square.

However, feelers from the convention ground in Abuja indicated that the battle for the sole presidential ticket is still down to former vice president, Yemi Osinbajo; senate president, Ahmad Lawan, former transportation minister and the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu, had before voting got the endorsement of six aspirants, who stepped down for him.

The winner is expected to be declared in a few hours.
