The identities of the two presidential aspirants disqualified by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been revealed.
A report by Daily Trust indicates that the two of the 17 presidential aspirants disqualified are Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze and Cosmas Ndukwe.
The lead opposition party’s screening committee led by former Senate President David Mark had disqualified the two aspirants for their alleged failure to meet the requirements set out by the party.
The PDP’s presidential screening appeal panel has upheld the disqualification of Dr Nwachukwu Anakwenze and Cosmos Ndukwe from vying for the party’s presidential ticket.
Following the development, the two aspirants appealed against their disqualification by the Senator Mark-led screening committee.
However, on Wednesday, May 4, the appeal committee led by the PDP national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, upheld their disqualification, according to Daily Trust.
The newspaper noted that even though the committee refused to speak with newsmen, it gathered that they upheld the recommendation of the Senator Mark-led committee.
Also reporting the development, The Nation stated that Anakwenze appeared before the panel but could not confirm if Ndukwe was present.
Anakwenze who emerged from the conference room after appearing before the appeal committee did not answer questions from reporters.
With the disqualification of the two, the PDP is now left with 15 presidential aspirants jostling for the party’s ticket.
