Unlike in some states in the region such as Abia and Ebonyi where controversies surround the three-member delegates elections, those held in Enugu State have been less contentious, especially in the ruling PDP.
PDP: Aspirants and their chances
In 2021, the three senatorial zones in the state – Enugu East, Enugu West and Enugu North – held separate rallies where they endorsed the zoning arrangement in the state. The former power minister, Mr Nnaji, had attempted to sell his candidacy on the basis that it would balance zoning and competence, but the PDP did not think the professor of mechanical and industrial engineering has the political clout to garner votes in the general election.
But Mr Ugwunayi reportedly made a U-turn on Tuesday and decided to pick Mr Mbah as his final choice ahead of the primaries. The governor received heavier knocks when information went public that the former commissioner is Mr Ugwuanyi’s cousin, though they come from different local government areas and senatorial districts.
Although Mr Ekweremadu reportedly had an interface with APGA recently over a possible defection to the party, PREMIUM TIMES learnt, that the lawmaker later struck a deal with the APC to make a sensational switch to the party along with his loyalists and members of his camp.For APGA, four aspirants have been cleared to contest for the party’s governorship ticket in the state.
