Senator Kelvin Chukwu switched political allegiances from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress during recent community discussions. The Enugu East Senatorial District representative made his announcement at a town hall gathering in Amuri Community within Nkanu West Local Government Area. Chukwu blamed ongoing internal conflicts and party divisions for his departure from Labour Party ranks. He expressed gratitude to constituents while promising continued representation under his new political banner.
Dr Ben Nwoye, who previously chaired the APC at state level, praised the senator's decision as beneficial for both the lawmaker and local residents. Representatives Chimaobi Sam Atu and Sunday Umehia had previously made similar moves to the APC after experiencing comparable party leadership disputes. The recent departures reflect broader organizational problems within Enugu State's Labour Party structure. These political shifts raise questions about the party's ability to maintain unity and electoral viability.
