There is growing confusion in the Anambra State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress following the dispute between two candidates over the party’s ticket for Anaocha 1 Constituency for the Anambra State House of Assembly.
The Anaocha 1 Constituency, which is the Constituency of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been in controversy as the serving member of the state Assembly, Nkechi Ogbuefi, is insisting that she is the candidate of the party for the 2027 election.
Addressing the controversy while speaking to journalists during a press briefing in Awka on Tuesday, Ogbuefi insisted that she took part in the primary election of the party and was duly nominated as the candidate of the party for the Constituency.
However, while Ogbuefi is insisting she is the authentic party’s candidate, her rival, Azubuike Okoye, is optimistic that his name is on the Independent National Electoral Commission’s register.
