Kaduna PDP Rejects By-election Results, Alleges Intimidation

The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the by-election held in the Basawa Zaria Kewaye State constituency federal constituency. The PDP alleges that the electoral process was marred by irregularities, intimidation, and undemocratic practices, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of employing what they term as "gestapo commando tactics" to undermine the credibility of the election.

The PDP candidate for the federal constituency was allegedly abducted, and the party accused government agents of seizing funds meant for election logistics and engaging in massive vote-buying. The PDP expressed concern over the prevailing political atmosphere in Kaduna State, citing low voter turnout as a reflection of public disillusionment.

Despite these challenges, the PDP reiterated its commitment to internal reform, rebuilding grassroots structures, and delivering credible representation to the people of Kaduna State. The party urged the people of Kaduna State to continue trusting and supporting the PDP in.
