The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed concerns over the eligibility of its 2027 governorship candidate, Hon. Kingsley Chinda, following a recent judgment by the Supreme Court. DAILY POST reports that the judgment, delivered by the apex court on September 24, 2026, has sparked a legal debate over the implications of the decision for Chinda’s candidacy. The Supreme Court, in the judgment, emphasised compliance with Section 77(5) and (6) of the Electoral Act, which requires political parties to submit their verified register of members to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at least 21 days before conducting their primary elections.
