Tuesday, October 1, 2024 - The Anambra State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has reacted to Saturday’s local government council elections in the state.
Recall that the election was won by the All Progressives Grand
Alliance.
Reacting, PDP rejected the result.
The state chairman of the party, Chigozie Igwe, disclosed this in
an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Awka on Monday.
Recall that the Chairman, Anambra State Independent Electoral
Commission, ANSIEC, Mrs Genevieve Osakwe, on Sunday night declared chairmanship
and councillorship candidates of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance,
APGA, as winners in the 21 local government councils and 326 wards.
Osakwe while declaring the results described the election as free,
fair, credible and peaceful.
But Igwe, who described, the exercise as a charade said the PDP
did not boycott the election like other political parties did, adding that it,
therefore was on good stead to deplore its outcome.
The PDP chairman said the party was still studying the details of
the exercise, preparatory to challenging it.
“They gave us one month to prepare for the election, within that period
we sold forms, screened nominees, conducted primary, campaign and met all the
conditions.
“But on election day, ANSIEC sent materials and officials to where they
liked, no result was released to anywhere including Zikdton primary school, Nza
Ozubulu, where I voted.
“They conducted a charade in the name of election. So we are rejecting
whatever result they released,” he said.
