None of the 18 political parties vying in the November 6 Anambra governorship elections have launched their campaigns, despite the time-table of theindicating August 8 as the commencement date of campaigns for the elections.
News Agency of Nigeria checks revealed that although INEC had fixed the date for the commencement of campaigns for the election, even APGA, the ruling party in the state, was yet to announce the dates for their campaign, while some others are embroiled in litigations. Solomon Izuka, an Awka based politician, who spoke to NAN, said that non-commencement of campaigns three weeks after the official commencement date for campaigns was not politically healthy, as the situation could fuel untoward rivalry in the heat of the election.
Mr Izuka, however, attributed the situation to two factors: litigations involving the big parties, and low financial capacity of some other parties. “First, some political parties like APGA, APC and PDP are in court which has created uncertainty on when their candidates will start campaigns, while others are ‘feather weight’ parties that have less financial capacity to fund campaigns”, he said.
