Southeast Senator Gilbert Emeka Nnaji Defects from PDP to ADC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Senator Gilbert Emeka Nnaji, a prominent figure in the Southeast region, has left the People Democratic Party (PDP) after nearly three decades to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Nnaji criticized the current state of the PDP, stating that the party has drifted away from its founding ideals.

His defection to the ADC is seen as a significant development in Enugu State politics, potentially strengthening the party's influence in the region as the 2027 elections approach. While the PDP has not officially responded to Nnaji's resignation, political watchers anticipate further defections and strategic realignments in Enugu State and across the Southeast region.
