The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended its ongoing party primaries, throwing the exercise into uncertainty just hours after it commenced.

Party officials announced the suspension citing the need to address emerging issues surrounding the conduct of the exercise and ensure compliance with internal guidelines. The development has sparked tension among aspirants and delegates who had already converged for the process.

The halt comes amid growing internal disagreements within the party over the mode of selection and allegations of irregularities in the screening and voting arrangements. Stakeholders are now awaiting a fresh directive from the party’s national leadership on when the primaries will resume.

Further updates are expected as consultations continue within the party hierarchy.
