Kenneth Imasuagbon, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirants who had vowed not to step down from the race has finally backtracked.
Mr Imasuagbon, moments ago, stepped down from contesting the PDP primary leaving Godwin Obaseki, the Edo State governor, as a lone man in the race.
The primary election which is currently ongoing is just a formality.
Mr Obaseki is likely to emerge unopposed in the race where the gubernatorial candidate of the party is expected to emerge.
