Enugu Governor Peter Mbah to Defect to APC, Signaling Political Shift in South East

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah is expected to formally defect from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on October 14, 2025. This move comes as part of a broader political realignment in the South East region ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The defection is seen as a boost to the APC's strength in Enugu, traditionally a PDP stronghold. The APC leadership has made efforts to facilitate Mbah's defection, with top national and state leaders expected to attend the ceremony in Enugu.
