The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC has recognized candidates produced by the Dan Orbih faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as qualified standard bearers of the party in the forthcoming 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

Recall that the party has been engulfed in supremacy battle between Governor Godwin Obaseki\u2019s faction and the faction led by the party National Vice Chairman South South, Dan Orbih, leading to the conduct of parallel primaries in May this year.<\/p>\n

The parallel primaries resulted in litigations and a high court ruling recognized those that emerged from Orbih\u2019s faction primaries.<\/p>\n

However, Obaseki-led camp had appealed the judgement and the matter is now before the Court of Appeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The state party chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, had in August presented certificate of return to those that emerged winner from the governor\u2019s faction primaries.<\/p>\n

According to Daily Trust report,\u00a0the INEC<\/a> had pasted a comprehensive list on its notice board and all the PDP candidates on the list were the winners who emerged from the primaries conducted by the Orbih\u2019s faction.<\/p>\n

It also observed that the pasted list reads court order.<\/p>\n

Responding, the state party chairman, Aziegbemi, said there is no issue about the list as the candidates are still in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are still in court up to the Supreme Court. So INEC<\/a> is obeying the first court order which they (Orbih\u2019s faction) got, which is fine. So we are awaiting the case to progress to logical conclusion before we know exactly where we stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

But as we speak, we are one PDP, we are good and there is nothing to be agitated about. The electoral process allowed for litigation and until the conclusion of that option that is available to every body, there is nothing to be agitated about<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should not forget we are one PDP<\/a> and one big family, so we should all wait until the highest court in the land gives the final verdict\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, the state party\u2019s secretary, Hillary Otsu, said the list released by INEC is the state\u2019s authentic list.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, that is the authentic list and that is the candidates of the party\u2019s primaries monitored by INEC and we don\u2019t have any objection to it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
