The PDP has been plagued by a perennial leadership crisis, with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, leading a faction of the party.
A former deputy governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere, has joined the race for the Imo East Senatorial seat in the 2027 elections.
Mr Madumere announced his intention to contest for the position at a news briefing in Owerri on Thursday.
He promised to pursue sustainable, inclusive, impactful and holistic leadership if allowed to serve.
He said he had prepared a blueprint tailored to meet the needs and aspirations of the constituency.
Mr Madumere said he would run on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he was convinced that the party is grassroots-oriented, with national spread and acceptability.
He promised to embark on strategic engagements, consultations, and the mobilisation of the electorate to woo and broaden his electoral opportunities.
“I am determined and resolute, going by my pedigree, experience, exposure, reach and contact, and I stand a better chance to clinch the ticket of my party, the PDP.
“I am ready and prepared to serve my people, and I am offering myself unconditionally, if they want the best result in 2027.
“I will work proactively, embrace all with a robust vision and mission, entrenched in providing basic infrastructure revival, youth empowerment and human capital enhancement,” Mr Madumere said.
