Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, has defected to the Labour Party.

Thelagostimes reports that his defection comes days after he was denied the ticket of APGA to contest for the Anambra Central senatorial seat for the 2023 general elections.

Umeh, who was the National Chairman of APGA for eight years, lost the APGA ticket for the Anambra Central Senatorial zone to Dozie Nwankwo, who currently represents the Anoacha/Dunukofia/Njikoka Federal Constituency.

Meanwhile, following his defection, Umeh is currently contesting the ticket of the Labour Party for the Anambra Central Senatorial zone for the 2023 general election.
