The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP)in Rivers State has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),of plotting to rig the forthcoming  legislative re run elections in the state
The Publicity Secretary of the party in Rivers State, Mr Samuel Nwanosike who made the accusations in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt said 18 days to re run election,  INEC is yet to release its time table and the level of preparations are unknown.
Nwanosike warned that the Peoples Democratic Party and the people of Rivers State would resist every attempt at all cost to rig the  polls in the three senatorial districts in the state.
According to him,’’we are yet to know the wards, the polling units where elections are supposed to be held.INEC ought to have notified all the political parties and the people of Rivers State, but till now, we are in the dark’’.
‘’ These are the indices that raise our suspicions. We believed that there must be a romance with the APC and the INEC. We do not know the ad hoc workers, No programme and arrangement drawn by INEC yet’’, he alleged.
Meanwhile, the President General of a Pro Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, the Grassroots Democratic Initiative (GDI), Bright Amaewhule, has expressed optimism that all the candidates of the PDP will win the July,30th legislative rerun poll in the state.
Amaewhule who stated this in an interview with news men in Port Harcourt, said the PDP would build on the support base it enjoyed from Rivers people in 2015 general elections in consolidating its victory in July 30 polls.
According to him,’’ during the 2015 general elections,  we said that PDP will win, and we won. Despite the fact that Appeal Court nullified some of the elections, we had another rerun in March 19th, we also assured the people that PDP will win, and we won again. This time will not be different’’.
