The Countdown to the 2023 general elections is on, but while political parties are attempting to deepen their campaigns and improve efforts to swing support to their side, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State are not sitting comfortably for the exercise.
On a surface, the PDP has elevated the 2023 campaigns to an enviable height. So far, the party has left no room for doubts about its readiness to retain the state, which it has controlled since 1999. The APC, on its part, which remains the largest opposition political party in the state despite incursions by the Labour party, has also tried to make impressions in the elections.
But current litigations are threatening the quest for victory of the parties in the election. Added to the burden of the APC in the state is the internal crisis, which predates the current electioneering period and is taking a more dangerous dimension among its members.
Listed as respondents in the suit, No FHC/EN/CS/217/22 includes the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and its candidates for the elections in Enugu State.
