The chairmanship and councillorship candidates have emerged ahead of the August 30th, 2025 local government elections in Rivers State.
Political parties held their primaries across various centres in the state on Saturday after the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission released guidelines for the election.
Some candidates emerged through the normal process while others were reportedly chosen via consensus.
It was also gathered that candidates who emerged are from both the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress all loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
All who emerged as candidates all served as elected local government chairman when Wike held sway as Rivers State Governor.
