The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially cleared 27 aspirants to participate in the upcoming House of Representatives primaries in Anambra, a significant step as the party gears up for the 2027 elections. This move reflects the APC's strategy to consolidate its position in the region, where political dynamics are increasingly competitive.
The aspirants represent a diverse array of interests and backgrounds, underscoring the party's effort to appeal to a broad electorate. "We are committed to ensuring that our candidates reflect the values and aspirations of the people of Anambra," stated Chief Victor Ogbodo, the APC state chairman.
