In Enugu State, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied reports that its organisational structures have collapsed following the reported defection of more than 6,000 members to the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
The NDC said it remains operational and that the alleged defections do not indicate a breakdown of its party machinery. It has not released any internal documents to confirm or refute the claims.
Defections to the PDP have been noted across several Nigerian states, and the movement of 6,000 former NDC members is a significant shift in the local political landscape.
These allegations were first reported by Punch Nigeria, and the NDC has yet to issue a formal statement beyond the denial of a collapse.
