The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the south-east has re-elected Ali Odefa as its national vice-chairman.
Odefa was re-elected during the PDP’s zonal congress held on Wednesday at Michael Okpara Square in Enugu.
Party members also elected other executive members, including James Ugwu (zonal secretary), Regina Uchebo (zonal treasurer), and Cornelius Ugwu (zonal organising secretary).
Others are Madubuike Okoro (financial secretary), Chigozie Igwe (publicity secretary), Dominic Nwankwo (legal adviser), Ifeyinwa Arodiogbo (woman leader), Godswill Nwanoruo (zonal youth leader), and Augustine Ezeanya (zonal auditor).
Odefa was elected hours after a federal high court in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi state, affirmed his expulsion from the party.
In October 2024, the PDP executive committee in Oguduokwor ward, Onicha LGA of Ebonyi, suspended Odefa over alleged anti-party activities.
In November, a federal high court in Ebonyi upheld Odefa’s suspension as the national vice-chairman of the opposition party in the south-east.
In December, the ward executives expelled Odefa following the recommendation of a disciplinary committee that affirmed the allegations of anti-party activities against him.
On January 15, the PDP NWC rejected Odefa’s suspension and expulsion, describing it as “null and void”.
