The All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded its ward congresses in Ahoada East and Khana Local Government Areas of Rivers State ahead of the February 21 by-elections, successfully electing delegates for its party primaries.
The by-elections are being held to fill vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly, with the elected delegates expected to choose the APC’s candidates for the affected constituencies.
In Ahoada East State Constituency II, the congress was supervised by a seven-member party committee led by Smart Iheanazo, alongside members of the party’s appeal committee, who monitored the exercise across the six wards.
Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by the Assistant Electoral Officer (Operations), Okogbule Emilia, observed the process, which resulted in the emergence of five delegates from each ward.
A similar exercise took place in Khana Local Government Area under the supervision of the APC’s Delegate Congress and Primary Election Committee chaired by Oyoala Peter, with INEC officials and security agencies ensuring order, as party leaders described the process as peaceful and orderly.
