Recent political developments in the State and in the country may influence some key members of the Imo APC Stakeholders Coalition to join another political party.

Also with the reported endorsement of Senator Ifeanyi Araraume as the governorship candidate of the Coalition, some of other aspirants in the fold are said to be contemplating moving to another party.

Imo State Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere who is facing impeachment threats from the Imo State House of Assembly may be among those to leave the Coalition for another political party to further his governorship ambition.

In Imo State, the Rochas Okorocha faction of the All Progressive Congress, APC, conducted fresh congresses which elected party officers from the ward to the State levels.

The Congress came after an Abuja Federal High Court nullified an earlier congress which favoured the Coalition.
