Four aspirants in the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State have failed to show up for the rescheduled exercise without giving any official reason for their absence.
Also, four other aspirants withdrew from the race, leaving only two aspirants – House of Representatives member Rasak Atunwa and a serving Senator Muhammad Shaba-Lafiagi – to slug it out.
Those who withdrew from the race are Ladi Hassan, Saka Ishau, House of Representatives member Zakari Muhamamd and the Speaker of the House of Assembly Ahmad Ali who withdrew from the race on Sunday.
The PDP primary in Kwara had been suspended on Sunday and rescheduled for today after suspected thugs disrupted the exercise.
