Three Lawmakers Defect to APP Ahead of 2027 Elections
The Action Peoples Party (APP) announced the defection of two serving members of the House of Representatives, Boma Goodhead and Alozie Ikechi, along with former lawmaker Uju Chima, to the party. This strategic move is aimed at bolstering APP's political structure in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
The announcement was made by APP chieftain Ikenga Ugochinyere, who represents Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State. Goodhead represents Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency in Rivers State, while Ikechi represents Obingwa/Ugwunagbo/Osisioma Federal Constituency in Abia State.
Uju Chima, a former member representing Oguta/Ohaji-Egbema/Oru West Federal Constituency in Imo State, is seeking a return to the National Assembly under the APP banner. The three lawmakers have been listed among the Independent National Electoral Commission’s final candidates for the upcoming elections.
Ugochinyere emphasized that APP is a platform for independent-minded politicians focused on the people's interests.
