his bid to go to the Senate in 2015.
Chime, whose tenure expires in 2015, had been locked in a contest with the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, over the seat of the Enugu West Senatorial District.

The Chief Press Secretary to Chime, Chukwudi Achife, confirmed the development on Friday.
Achife said Chime was no longer running for Senate.
It was gathered that the development followed a peaceful agreement between Chime and Ekweremadu.
