2019 election: Coalition parties’ presidential primaries threaten alliance against Buhari

The plans by 39 political parties which formed an alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party to remove President Muhammadu Buhari from office through the polls next year, may be heading for a fall.

According to SUNDAY PUNCH investigations, indications that the alliance has come under a big threat manifested when the Independent National Electoral Commission released the timetable for party primary election.

The timetable indicated that all the parties that would be taking part in the 2019 general elections are expected to organise their primaries between August 18 and October 8.
