The primaries have been outstanding since April 2020 due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which culminated in the imposition of restrictions on movements and mass gatherings as a preventive measure.
The party has already elected more than 95 Parliamentary candidates who would be contesting on its ticket in orphan constituencies [areas the party does not have sitting MPs].
The primaries will, therefore, enable the party to select the last batch of parliamentary candidates for the December 7, 2020 elections.
