The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the postponement of its Anambra State governorship primary election, shifting the date to April 8, 2025. This decision comes after a series of discussions within the party to ensure the primary election is held in an orderly and fair manner.
Originally scheduled for earlier in the year, the postponement has stirred significant political conversation across the state, particularly in light of the ongoing preparations for the November 2025 governorship election in Anambra.
Many party members and aspirants were already ramping up their campaigns, but the delay has raised concerns over potential disruptions to their electoral strategies. Despite the delay, the PDP leadership has assured stakeholders that the new date will allow for the smooth conduct of the election, with all necessary arrangements now being put in place.
The postponement of the primary election is expected to provide additional time for the party to finalize its internal processes, particularly concerning the selection of delegates and the implementation of election guidelines.
Political observers and analysts will be closely monitoring the party’s strategies, especially as the race to select its flag bearer intensifies. The PDP’s ability to field a strong candidate will be crucial to its chances of making significant inroads in Anambra State, which has traditionally been a battleground for the two dominant political parties.
