An All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant in Zamfara State, Hassan Dangaladima, has called on the party’s national leadership to suspend a court-ordered re-run primary election for the Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency over allegations of bias.
Dangaladima, who is seeking the party’s ticket for the constituency, has petitioned the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) and National Working Committee (NWC), accusing the party leadership of compromising the process through what he described as a biased selection of the committee assigned to conduct the fresh primary.
In his petition, the aspirant reportedly raised concerns about the composition of the committee, questioning its impartiality and ability to conduct a credible and transparent exercise.
He urged the party’s national leadership to intervene and halt the process to prevent what he fears could undermine fairness and further deepen divisions within the party.
The dispute comes amid efforts by the APC to comply with a court order directing a fresh primary election for the federal constituency.
The controversy could present another challenge for the party as it seeks to manage internal disagreements and ensure a transparent process in selecting its candidate.
However, details of the party leadership’s response to Dangaladima’s petition were not immediately available.
