Enugu East Senator, Kelvin Chukwu Dumps Labour Party, Joins APC by fergie001(mod): 3:32pm On Sep 25, 2025
The lawmaker representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Senator Kelvin Chukwu, has dumped the Labour Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Chukwu, who hails from Amuri Community in Nkanu West local government area of Enugu State, disclosed this on Wednesday during a town hall meeting at the village market square to brief his constituents on some of his achievements in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly.

The federal lawmaker told his constituents that his decision to quit the Labour Party was informed by the protracted crisis rocking the party which has led to its division.

He noted that this development has seriously affected the members of the party even as he added that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was equally currently swimming in a deep mess.

He declared that he would formally declare for his new party at the floor of the Senate during plenary when the lawmakers resume.

The senator had during the meeting which was attended by the immediate-past state Chairman of the APC, Dr. Ben Nwoye, the traditional ruler, as well as dignitaries from the area, expressed appreciation to the people for his support since assuming office at the NASS, and promised not to let them down.

In his reaction, Nwoye, applauded Senator Chukwu for joining the ruling APC, describing it as a wise political decision that would be of immense benefit to the lawmaker and his constituents.

If his mentor Peter obi is allowed to jump party multiple times, then there's nothing wrong with this young man going to another party of his choice

All these no bodies that rode on the popularity of peter Obi to become winners.
Now that he has defected to APC, 2027 will be a big test to check how popular he has become as a person to his constituents.

Because the votes will not count the result will be written at one corner signed and submitted to INEC, to ensure re-election he has to join APC though he knows his constituency will not vote APC.
The situation we are.
