Confusion surrounds the NDC's ticket for Anaocha 1 Constituency in Anambra State's forthcoming House of Assembly election. The incumbent member, Nkechi Ogbuefi, claims she was the party's chosen candidate for the 2027 election, having taken part in the primary election and been duly nominated. However, Azubuike Okoye insists he is the authentic candidate, with evidence that he purchased the form, participated in the screening process, and attended the primary elections.
Ogbuefi alleges Okoye's involvement in other political parties prior to joining the NDC casts doubt on his credentials. Despite the dispute, the NDC state chairman, Ikem Uzoezie, stated that the party will publish the list of candidates to INEC next week, at which point the matter will be resolved.
