A member of the Abia State House of Assembly representing Ukwa East State Constituency, Hon. Lewis Chinemerem Obianyi, has officially defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the Labour Party (LP).
ABN TV reports that the lawmaker announced his defection during today’s plenary session at the Abia State House of Assembly, where he formally tendered his resignation from the PDP before declaring his new political affiliation with the Labour Party.
Hon. Obianyi’s defection adds to the growing wave of political realignments in Abia State, particularly within the Labour Party, which currently controls the state’s executive arm.
Details surrounding the reasons for his decision were not immediately disclosed during the plenary, as proceedings continued shortly after the announcement.
More updates are expected as the development unfolds.
