The All Progressives Congress (APC)’s Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has denied political office holders the right to vote at the national convention on Saturday.
According to a statement by the CECPC, “all political appointees who were elected as delegates to the National Convention slated for 26/3/2022 SHALL NOT VOTE given the controversy surrounding Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act,2022.”
The committee, however, stated that political appointees can still attend as observers.
This is after the National Assembly’s unanimous rejection of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill signed by President Muhammadu Buhari last month.
Indications emerged on Wednesday the President and APC Governors had adopted consensus for the emergence of party officials, including the National Chairman.
