The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Wednesday commenced its electioneering campaign for the March 6, local government councils election in Delta.
The State PDP Chairman, Mr Kingsley Essiso, who performed the function in Asaba, handed over the party’s flag to all chairmanship and vice – chairmanship candidates of the party at the ceremony.
The State PDP Publicity Secretary, Dr Ifeanyi Osuoza explained that the event was low key due to COVID-19 pandemic.
“And in line with COVID-19 protocols on crowd control, those who attended the ceremony were only the endorsed
chairmanship and vice-chairmanship candidates, the LG party chairmen and three other members of the party from each of the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.
Osuoza said that the measure was aimed at avoiding community spread of COVID-19, which could be easily aggravated by attracting and mobilising large crowds and gatherings usually associated with political rallies and campaigns.
