The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it will not be taking part in the upcoming local government elections scheduled for October 5.
Aaron Chukwuemeka, the state party Chairman, disclosed this after a stakeholders’ meeting at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt.
He said the party is awaiting the court verdict over the election in the case instituted by the All Progressives Congress (APC), urging members of the party to stay away from any activities connected with the election.
“We’ve just risen from a stakeholders meeting and took the following decisions that as a law-abiding party we will not be part of the purported local government election that they have slated for the 5th of October,” he stated.
“A few months ago, there was a suit instituted by the APC, we are not part of that suit.
