INEC ‘Disqualifies’ 21 Of 40 PDP Assembly Candidates In Lagos

There is unrest in the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the disqualification of 21 out of the 40 House of Assembly candidates of the Party for the 2023 elections.

Chief Olabode George, Former Deputy National Chairman of the party had raised an alarm of the disqualification of 21 out of the 40 House of Assembly candidates of the party.

He gave the reason that it is because the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had said primary elections did not hold in the affected local governments.

The local governments include Agege, Apapa, Badagry, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Mushin, Ojo, and Surulere.

Quoting INEC, George said the electoral committee members failed to show up in some of the LGAs.

Also, it was stated that the PDP primaries were not monitored in Alimosho LGA because it was not conducted at the designated venue forwarded to the LGA.

In the statement, George said, “It has just been brought to my attention that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disqualified 21 of the 40 House of Assembly candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State because its officials did not monitor the exercise that elected them to fly our party’s flag in the March 11, 2023 State Assembly elections.
