The primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took place across the country Monday, July 1, amid violence.
In Abuja for instance, the primaries took off several hours behind schedule in the different electoral wards as a result of the disorderliness of the voters at designation centers. The voters marred the open ballot system adopted by the party.
In most of the wards, non PDP non-member who were mobilized by
chairmanship and councillorship aspirants besieged the venues, making extremely difficult to control the crowd.
The mammoth crowd gave the party’s electoral officers a hectic time as the crowd continued to surge endlessly while counting was on, making the counting exercise difficult for party officials.
A number of the aspirants protested the exercise, but the
national secretariat of the party through its national secretary, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, said it was satisfied with reports from across the states of the federation on the primaries.
Prince.
Ogbulafor gave an assurance that elections would be conducted in the areas where it did not hold within the stipulated time
