Three Lawmakers Defect to Action Peoples Party Ahead of 2027
Two serving members of the House of Representatives, Boma Goodhead, representing the Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency of Rivers State, and Alozie Ikechi, representing the Obingwa/Ugwunagbo/Osisioma Federal Constituency of Abia State, along with former Imo State lawmaker Uju Chima, have defected to the Action Peoples Party (APP) in preparation for the 2027 general elections. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, an APP chieftain and member of the House representing the Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, announced this development in a statement.
Ugochinyere confirmed that Goodhead, Ikechi, and Chima have been listed as APP candidates for the upcoming National Assembly elections. He expressed excitement about their inclusion in the party, describing the APP as a platform for politicians looking to move away from traditional political approaches and focus on citizens' interests.
Ugochinyere wished the new candidates success as they prepare for the elections.
