Tension in Delta over APC senatorial primary election 

The tension in Delta State arose after the All Progressives Congress (APC) held its senatorial primary elections in early 2024. Candidates and supporters disputed the party’s screening process and the announced winners for the three senatorial districts (Delta North, Central and South). Accusations of irregularities, vote‑buying and the exclusion of certain aspirants led to protests, legal challenges and calls for the party’s national leadership to intervene, creating a volatile political climate ahead of the 2024 general elections.
