Ahead of the Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 16 the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) may have screened out four aspirants jostling for its ticket in.

According to Daily Sun , the affected aspirants include Tony Nwoye, Sylvester Okonkwo, Ugochukwu Okeke and Afam.

On Tuesday, the aspirants had faced the screening committee, after which they were given “screening exercise brief forms,” which they brought back yesterday.

After meeting with the screening committee members, each aspirant got a certificate, which stated whether they had been cleared or not. The four disqualified aspirants still have the opportunity of taking their matter to the appeal committee for reconsideration of their cases.

With the disqualification of the four aspirants, the PDP has about 20 others to fight for its ticket in the primary election scheduled for August 24, in Awka.

The PDP will on Monday, August 12, hold its congresses in the wards in Anambra. This will be followed by local government congresses.

The primary election, for the selection of the governorship candidate will hold on Saturday, August 24.

An attempt to pick a consensus candidate for the election failed, as the aspirants had settled for a contest, where the delegates will decide their fate.
