The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo state has set August 22, 2024, as the date for its primary election preceding the local government elections.
This announcement was made public by MacDonald Ebere, the State Chairman, on behalf of the State Executive Committee.
Ebere assured that the party has taken every necessary precaution to ensure a fair and transparent process, and he encouraged contestants to behave with respect and dignity throughout.
