The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared the seat of Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the daughter of the former governor of Delta State, James Ibori’s seat, in the House of Representatives, vacant.

The PDP is also demanding that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conduct a fresh election to fill the vacant Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives. This seat became vacant after Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
