APC primary election for Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency postponed as materials go missing

The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for Arochukwu Ohafia Federal Constituency in Abia State has been postponed till further notice.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) observer for the election said that the election could not hold because the materials for it did not arrive at the venue of the election till 4pm in the evening of yesterday, Friday, May 27, 2022.

The Returning Officer, Mr Tony Onyeanwuala, also confirmed that the election did not hold.

He said an impostor had carted away the materials for the election to an unknown destination.

He assured the constituents that the primary election in the constituency will hold on a later date.

The aspirants, including Mrs Mary Ikoku, Rev Daniel Imoh and Mr Iroh Orji, all urged the state chapter of APC to do the needful and conduct the primary election.

Speaking further Ikoku warned any impostor trying to hijack the process to desist from such, adding that “only free, fair and credible primary election will produce a popular candidate that will win the 2023 House of Representatives election on the platform of the APC.”
