 So, in the news, the People's Democratic Party has wanded against what it considers to be the imposition of processes on parties. Its national publicity secretary, Mr. Akhola O'Lugodion, has released a statement saying the PDP and other political parties have the right to decide the form of primaries to adopt in picking candidates for elections. O'Lugodion says the PDP is shocked over the passage of a harmonized Electoral Act Amendment Bill, which mandates parties to use direct primaries.
