The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State has elected Mr Peter Nwele as the new chairman.
Nwele stated that he would start bringing those that left the party back to form a formidable force to take over the state in 2027.
He noted that Ebonyi has been a PDP state and that the party will bounce back in 2027.
Nwele spoke during the state congress at the weekend in Abakaliki.
The congress was supervised by a seven-man committee from the National secretariat of the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as well as security agencies.
“Ebonyi State is PDP right from time and it will continue to be PDP. People say that there is crisis in PDP, there is no crisis in the party.
“The only thing we want to do now is to embark on bringing those who left the party back.
“PDP is a very large family that will accommodate all of us. So we are ready to start bringing everyone back home.
“We are for forgiveness, we make peace for people to come back home so that we take back our lost mandate,” he stated
