NDC's Nkechi Nwaogu Denies APC Membership Claims
Sen. Nkechi Nwaogu, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial candidate for Abia Central, has rejected claims of her membership in the All Progressives Congress (APC). This dispute arises as the APC insists she is still a member, while the NDC asserts she joined their party before the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) deadline for the 2027 elections.
Nwaogu, who previously represented Abia Central from 2007 to 2015 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and later joined the APC, stated she resigned from the APC in early May. The NDC confirmed her candidacy remains valid and urged members to support her.
Conversely, the APC, through its Publicity Secretary Uche Aguoru, claimed Nwaogu participated in the APC senatorial primary on May 18, 2026, where she was the runner-up. The APC maintains that Nwaogu's name is still on their membership list, contradicting the NDC's assertions.
