Saturday, 26th June 2021: The People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), on Friday dissolved all its executives in the Anambra State chapter ahead of the November 6 governorship election.

The party directed its South-east Zonal Caretaker Committee to oversee and manage its affairs pending when new executives would be elected for the chapter.

The decision comes a day before the party’s primary election holding on 26 June.

The spokesperson of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said in a statement on Friday, that the party took the action following the two judgements served on it.

He, however, said the process leading to the election of a candidate for the November governorship election has not changed.

A High Court in Abuja recently sacked the state and local government executive councils of the PDP in Anambra State.

A member of the party, Samuel Anyakola, had filed a suit challenging the emergence of the state and local government excos as well as national delegates during the South-east Zonal congress on March 6.

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama, Abuja, has sacked the state and local government executive councils of the PDP in Anambra State.

The court also directed the party to use the November 2017 delegates in conducting its governorship primary election.
