The campaign council of an All Progressives Congress, APC, House of Representatives aspirant, Abdulazeez Abubakar Kaka, has rejected the primary election conducted for Kaduna North Federal Constituency.
The development was contained in a statement issued by the Campaign Council.
According to the statement, members of the campaign team and party supporters were present across the 12 wards where the exercise was expected to take place but allegedly did not find electoral officials, voting materials or arrangements for the conduct of the primary election.
The council further alleged that a group linked to another aspirant later emerged and announced results under what it described as questionable circumstances.
“This is a clear hijack of the democratic process, an abuse of internal party democracy, and a calculated attempt to impose a predetermined outcome on the people,” the statement read.
The campaign council called on the leadership of the APC to investigate the development and address the concerns raised over the conduct of the exercise.
It also urged supporters and party members to remain calm while efforts continue to pursue what the council described as its democratic rights through lawful means.
