PDP Crisis Leads to APC and ADC Gains in Nigerian Politics
The ongoing crisis within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) has resulted in key leaders defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and African Democratic Congress (ADC). Notable defections include former Vice President's running mate, 11 governors, former state governors, and National Assembly members.
This has significantly weakened the PDP, with APC being the biggest beneficiary. The defections have reshaped the political dynamics ahead of the 2023 elections, with governors like Caleb Muftwang and Bala Muhammad staying in the PDP while others like Seyi Makinde are yet to make a move.
The APC has gained a substantial number of members, impacting the composition of the House of Representatives.
