Over 4,500 members of the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party would congregate in Ondo State this week to choose their parties’ candidates in the primary elections of their parties for the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
At least, 12 aspirants are contesting the APC ticket while eight are vying for the ticket of the PDP at the primary.
In the camp of the APC, according to the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Alex Kalejaiye, over 2,500 delegates would participate in the primary on Monday.
He said, “There would be 12 delegates from each of the 203 wards, 72 from the state executive. We have delegates from local government areas; we have House of Assembly and National Assembly members as automatic delegates. We also have special delegates.”
On the side of the PDP, it was gathered that over 2,000 delegates are expected to participate in the primary of the party scheduled for Wednesday.
The Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr Zadok Akintoye, was not specific about the exact number of the delegates because he was not with the list at the time of speaking with our correspondent but noted that they were over 2,000.
“I am not with the list as I am talking to you now but I’m very sure that we have more than 2,000 delegates,” Akintoye stated.
