Imo LG Polls: APC Sets Date for Party Primaries
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially announced that the party’s primary elections in Imo State will take place on August 22, 2024. This decision was communicated by the State Chairman, MacDonald Ebere, who made the announcement on behalf of the State Executive Committee. This date marks a significant step in the party’s preparations for the upcoming local government elections.

MacDonald Ebere assured that the APC is fully prepared to conduct the primary elections in a manner that is both free and fair. He emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum and professionalism throughout the process. According to Ebere, the party is committed to ensuring that the election is transparent and that all participants adhere to the established guidelines.

The party has decided that the primary elections will involve party executives who will serve as automatic delegates. This approach is designed to streamline the process and ensure that the election is conducted smoothly.

However, there is increasing pressure from party members at the Local Government and Ward levels. Many of these members are advocating for a more inclusive process that would allow all card-carrying members of the APC to participate in the primaries. They believe that this broader participation would promote fairness and equity, giving every member a voice in selecting the party’s candidates for the local government elections.

The call for inclusiveness highlights a significant concern among party members who feel that their participation is crucial for a democratic process. They argue that allowing all members to vote in the primaries would lead to a more representative and just outcome, reflecting the true will of the party’s grassroots supporters. This demand for wider participation underscores a desire for a more transparent and democratic internal election process.

In response to these concerns, the State Organizing Secretary, Ikechukwu Sunday Umeh, has encouraged all candidates to engage with their local communities. Umeh urged contestants to visit their respective councils and speak directly with their constituents.

He assured that the primary elections will be conducted in a manner that is acceptable to all stakeholders. Umeh stressed that the party’s priority is to ensure a fair process and to achieve a successful outcome in the main elections.

Furthermore, Umeh addressed the issue of candidates who may not succeed in the primaries. He assured that the party has plans to support and compensate those who do not advance to the final elections. This support is intended to maintain morale and ensure that the party remains unified and focused on achieving success in the general elections.

Overall, the APC’s announcement of the primary election date and the ongoing discussions about the process reflect the party’s commitment to a fair and democratic electoral process. As the party prepares for the primaries, the focus will be on ensuring that all voices are heard and that the process is conducted with integrity.
