With the rejection of the results of the primaries of the All Progressives Congress by many aspirants across several states, can the ruling party weather the storm? Ejiofor Alike asks
More aspirants vying for the tickets of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election have continued to reject the outcome of the primaries across many states, putting the ruling party’s capacity to manage internal crises to test.
The APC had held its senatorial primaries between last Monday and Tuesday, while the governorship primaries were held on Thursday.
However, the primaries witnessed controversies with many of the aspirants withdrawing from the race due to alleged imposition while others disagreed with the processes and the outcomes.
Despite efforts being made to placate the aggrieved aspirants, many have refused all entreaties for them to accept the outcomes of the exercises.
