The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Ebonyi has fixed July 12 to conduct another round of primary elections to replace candidates who left the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
APGA chairman in Ebonyi, Ricky Okorouka, disclosed on Sunday in Abakaliki that candidates would be vying for seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, among other positions.
“The elections will hold at the various secretariats of the party in the state. We have asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to monitor the exercise,“ he said.
Mr Okorouka urged members to be steadfast and to uphold the party’s principles and ideology.
“We intend to replicate the Anambra experience in Ebonyi having chosen a formidable candidate for the 2023 governorship race,” he said.
