While the Labour Party is gaining some level of popularity, Odoh is said to be relatively unknown outside his Okpoga immediate environment.
Aida Nath Ogwuche, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, came third with 96 votes in the poll.
Political watchers say Ogwuche's court case instituted by her co-contestant in the PDP primary election is responsible for her slim chance.
The remaining votes were shared by the candidates of the New Nigeria People's Party, All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Social Democratic Party.
Some analysts are of the opinion that Agbese’s remarkable showing in the poll is the result of multiple factors that count in his favour.
The APC candidate is an international human rights lawyer with multiple degrees from the United Kingdom.
He is also a member of the Inns of Temple, UK, and his philanthropic gestures to many young persons include scholarships to indigent students.
