The Peoples Democratic Party will hold primary election in Anambra State on Monday (today) to elect its governorship candidate for the November 18 poll in the state.
Six aspirants are in the race; they are Oseloke Obaze; Ifeanyi Ubah; Stella Oduah; Alex Obiogolu; John Emeka; and Lynda Ikpeazu.
The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the party, Prof ABC Nwosu, told journalists on Sunday the party would produce a candidate that would be acceptable to the people of the state.
He said, “Our aim is not only to field a candidate in the November 18 poll, we want to produce a formidable candidate who will unseat the incumbent Governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano.”
He maintained that the party had made detailed preparations for the Monday primary and November poll.
He added, “We are in detailed preparations. We have arranged two venues for accreditation and where voting will take place.
“We have made adequate security arrangements to ensure no breach of peace even though we don’t anticipate there will be breach of peace.
“The Chairman of the panel to conduct the primary, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, will come over with three of his members.
