The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has officially launched its governorship primary elections across the state’s 319 wards. According to reports from DAILY POST, the voting process, which commenced on Friday, employs the Option A4 system, a method where voters queue behind their preferred candidate’s poster.
Supervising the exercise is the party’s National Election Committee (NEC), which is ensuring that procedures are followed. Prior to the primaries, the seven aspirants held a meeting that led to two candidates stepping down to support Gabriel Pidomson, a former lawmaker and ex-Secretary to the Rivers State Government. Among those who withdrew is Henry Ugboma.
The remaining contenders vying for the ADC ticket are Sokonte Davies, Farah Dagogo, Leloonu Nwibubasa, and Allen Hart. The primaries mark a significant step for the party as it prepares for the 2027 governorship election in Rivers State.
