The party’s chairman in the state, Chidi Chidebe, disclosed this in a timetable made available to journalists in Awka on Tuesday.
According to the timetable, the congress to elect three-man ad hoc delegates from wards will take place on March 20 and 21, while the local government area delegates’ election will be held on March 27.
The party also stated that the last day for the withdrawal and substitution of candidates would be June 2.
