David-Chyddy Eleke looks at the scramble by Anambra politicians for tickets of political parties for the 2027 poll to represent Idemili North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Idemili North and South Federal Constituency is made up of two local government areas in Anambra State. Both local government areas are considered the most populous in terms of voter concentration in the entire state, and fall within Anambra Central senatorial zone, but bordering the popular commercial city, Onitsha which though is in Anambra North senatorial district.
Given the above features and the cosmopolitan nature of Anambra State, it is not a surprise that the people of the area are very politically aware, a feature which usually makes elections keen and competitive.
In the run up to next year’s general election, political gladiators in the area are already warming up to pick the tickets of their various political parties for the contest of the House of Representatives seat of the area.
Some of the parties expected to be on the ballot are; the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA); an emerging force in the state political space, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is the ruling party in the country.
