  Reps Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda Defects To APC, Resigns Position


The Speaker of the House of Representatives on Tuesday read a letter announcing the defection of Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).


The defection letter was, however, dated April 23, 2026.


Following the announcement of his defection, Chinda subsequently resigned his position as Minority Leader of the House.


Chinda, a political ally of the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, recently secured the APC governorship ticket for Rivers State ahead of the 2027 elections.


He emerged as the party’s candidate following the withdrawal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Tonye Cole and George Kelly from the race.


Although he was the sole aspirant, party members still turned out en masse and queued to be counted in affirmation of his candidacy.
