The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has kicked against the approval of the conference committee report on the electoral act amendment bill.
The report which was approved by the National Assembly on Tuesday stipulates that all political parties must use the direct primary mode in picking candidates.
Reacting to this, the opposition party in a statement argued that no political party has the right to impose its processes on another.
Kola Ologbondiyan, its national publicity secretary, declared that other political parties have the right to decide which form of primary they wish to adopt.
“Our party holds that it is the inalienable right of each political party, within the context of our constitutional democracy, to decide its form of internal democratic practices.
“The PDP also believes that no political party should force its own processes on any other political party as the direct primaries amendment, a practice of the APC sought to achieve,” he said.
