Senator Kelvin Chukwu Defects to APC, Boost for Enugu Politics
Senator Kelvin Chukwu, representing Enugu East Senatorial District, has officially defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The senator cited the collapse of internal democracy and the tattered state of the Labour Party as reasons for his defection.
His announcement during the Senate plenary was met with applause from several APC lawmakers. Senator Chukwu expressed disappointment in the LP's failure to uphold discipline and attract quality politicians.
His move to the APC is seen as a significant political shift and a boost for the ruling party in Enugu State, with Senate President Godswill Akpabio welcoming the defection as a positive development.
