The Serial Defector Anambra Lawmaker representing Ayamelum Constituency, Hon. Bernard, has lost his bid to secure the NDC ticket following a keenly contested primary election that ended in his defeat. The outcome marks a significant setback for the lawmaker, whose political career has been characterized by frequent party switches over the years.
The NDC primaries, which attracted notable aspirants across the constituency, were described by party officials as competitive and reflective of internal democracy. Delegates reportedly favored a candidate they believed demonstrated consistency and stronger alignment with the party’s ideology, ultimately sidelining Bernard’s ambition despite his experience in the political space.
Observers say the loss may be linked to growing concerns among party stakeholders over political loyalty and credibility. With the primaries concluded, attention now shifts to the general election, as the NDC rallies behind its chosen candidate while Bernard’s next political move remains uncertain.
