The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dissolved all its executives in the Anambra State chapter ahead of the November 6 governorship election.
The party directed its South-east Zonal Caretaker Committee to oversee and manage its affairs pending when new executives would be elected for the chapter.
The decision comes a day before the party’s primary election holding Saturday 26 June.
The spokesperson of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, said in a statement on Friday, that the party took the action following the two judgements served on it.
He, however, said the process leading to the election of a candidate for the November governorship election has not changed.
