The Peoples Democratic Party in Imo said it has suspended its primaries for the House of Assembly and House of Representatives indefinitely, over unreconciled delegates list.
A statement by the Legal Advisor of the party in the state, Mr Kessinger Ikeokwu, on Sunday, attributed the non-conduct of the primaries to confusion caused by the National Assembly.
Ikeoku explained that Imo would not vote along with other states who were now voting with their three-man and one-man national delegates. He said: “Please note that the reason for the suspension of the PDP House of Assembly and House of Representatives primaries in Imo was a result of the confusion that arose from the error of the National Assembly in the country.
“This is hinged on Section 84 of the Electoral Act, which inadvertently led to the exclusion of over 80 per cent of delegates ordinarily meant to vote at the primaries. “The Imo PDP’s case became compounded because it hadn’t tidied up its three-man ad hoc delegates, who ought to vote at the primaries, due to pending litigations.
