The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has lost one legislative seat in Abia State House of Assembly to rivals Labour Party, LP, following the defection of Dennis Rowland Chinwendu, the member representing Isiala Ngwa South constituency.

He joined the LP as was announced on the floor of Abia State House of Assembly on Tuesday, one week after he was suspended by his PDP Ward leaders for alleged anti-party activities, including endorsing Governor Alex Otti for a second tenure in office.

The legislator is from the same constituency as Governor Alex Otti, raising widespread speculation about protecting his political fortune in 2027.
