Thursday, July 3, 2025 - Six members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the House of Representatives on Thursday defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The lawmakers include Unyime Idem, Ukanafun/Oruk Anam

constituency; Okpolupm Etteh, representing Eket/Esit Eket/Ibeno/Onna

Also, Emmanuel Ukpong-Udo, a lawmaker elected on the
platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), representing Ikono/Ini
constituency of Akwa Ibom, joined the APC.

the African Development Congress (ADC) by the opposition coalition on
Wednesday.
In the wake of the launch of the party, many PDP chieftains
have defected to the ADC, while others have joined the APC.
