N’Assembly’s By-election as Litmus Test for APC Chairman
The upcoming by-elections in the National Assembly will serve as a litmus test for the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda. Scheduled for August 16, these elections will be followed by the Anambra State governorship election on November 8, setting the stage for the ruling party's performance ahead of the 2027 general election.
Yilwatda, a former Resident Electoral Commissioner, has received commendation for his appointment, with stakeholders expressing confidence in his leadership. However, there are concerns about defections from the party, particularly in states like Delta.
Yilwatda is expected to ensure party loyalty and unity as the APC prepares for future elections. The success of the upcoming elections will be crucial in determining the party's prospects in the 2027 general election.
