APC Declares Kingsley Chinda as Rivers Governorship Candidate
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced Kingsley Chinda as its candidate for the Rivers State governorship election ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The announcement was made on Thursday in Port Harcourt by Bitrus Kwamoti, who served as chairman of the party’s governorship primary election committee and returning officer.
Kwamoti said the result was confirmed after collation of votes from the 23 local government areas of Rivers State.
According to him, Chinda was the only aspirant in the primary election and received a total of 268,497 votes.
He stated that Chinda met the requirements of the APC constitution and election guidelines and was therefore declared the winner and the party’s official governorship candidate for Rivers State.
The APC primary attracted public attention because of the ongoing political tensions in Rivers State and the influence of political allies linked to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
There had also been reports and speculation about the political future of Siminalayi Fubara after claims that he withdrew from the APC governorship primary.
