Coalition warns stakeholders against imposition of candidates in Kogi

Coalition of Political Parties (CPP) in Kogi State has warned political parties and other stakeholders against imposition of candidates in the 2023 general elections.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mercy Analo, made this known during a press conference in Lokoja.

According to her, the group warned of the implications of such act, especially as the imposed candidates may be incompetent and/or unpopular.

She said they decided to hold the briefing to address political parties and the stakeholders in the management of the process for 2023 general elections.

CPP, therefore, called on all political parties to play the game by the rules.

Her words: “All political parties should allow the process, without cutting corners, to avoid litigations after the primary election.

“Any political party that fails to follow the proper procedure by bottom up approach will face the challenges of winning election in their polling units, because the electorate must speak through their PVCs during the election.”
