– Abakaliki The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has chosen 24 candidates to represent the party in the 2023 Ebonyi House of Assembly election.
The party’s state secretariat, located along the Abakaliki-Enugu express road, hosted the primary election on Tuesday. According to our sources, voting was conducted by three-man ad-hoc ward delegates. The election was described as credible, transparent, and seamless by Mr Ricky Okorouka, APGA’s state chairman, who briefed journalists shortly after the exercise.
The candidates were chosen in accordance with the electoral law, INEC guidelines, and the party’s constitution, according to him.
He said the party’s readiness to offer the people of Ebonyi a credible alternative in 2023 was evidenced by the peaceful and rancour-free election, adding that APGA was founded on the platform of love.
“Our House of Assembly primary election was quite successful; we had one aspirant in each of the 22 state constituencies that contested the election, with the exception of Ezza North-East and Ezza North-West, where we had about five aspirants who contested the tickets,” he said.
“The exercise went off without a hitch and was completely fair; INEC officials were on hand to monitor the proceedings, and security agents were on hand to ensure that everything we did was peaceful and successful.”
