The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has chosen August 24 as date for
its primaries in preparation for the November 16, 2013, governorship
election in Anambra State.
The primaries would take place in Awka, the state capital, according to state chairman of the PDP, Prince Kenneth Emeakayi.
Emeakayi made this known on Thursday while speaking with journalists
at the state party secretariat in Udoka Housing Estate, Awka.
He added that the local government primaries, an exercise that is
expected to produce delegates for the state primaries, would hold on
August 12.
“We are still screening the aspirants, 15 had already bought their
nomination forms and returned while some of them have been cleared to
contest the governorship election.
“Some people are alleging that the party has a consensus candidate
already, but I am telling you right now that there is nothing like that,
everybody must go to the field to face the members,” Emeakayi said.
