Confusion is mounting in the Anambra State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress over the party's ticket for Anaocha 1 Constituency in the upcoming Anambra State House of Assembly elections. The controversy centers around whether serving Assembly member Nkechi Ogbuefi or Azubuike Okoye is the legitimate candidate representing the party.
Ogbuefi, who took part in the party's primary election and was duly nominated, asserts that Okoye never participated in the process and has falsely claimed the party's support. Okoye, however, claims he is on the Independent National Electoral Commission's register and will be officially announced as the candidate in the coming week.
NDC Anambra State chairman Ikem Uzoezie urges all parties to wait for the official candidate list published by INEC next week to resolve the dispute.
