2027 Polls: PDP, APC bicker over alleged procurement of PVCs to rig elections

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State is at odds with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the state government over allegations of procuring Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to rig the 2027 general elections. The PDP alleges that the APC and the government are fabricating these allegations as an excuse to intimidate and arrest party members and officials.

The APC and the government insist the allegations are baseless and a last attempt by a declining party. The PDP's Publicity Secretary, Darlington Onwe, stated that the allegations are a calculated plot by the state government and APC to frame and criminalize PDP members. He also alleged that a previous incident involved political thugs breaching a PDP gathering and assaulting journalists.

The state government's Special Assistant to the Governor, Sunday Nwambam, dismissed the allegations as spurious and unfounded, challenging the PDP to provide facts.
