A report by The Nation attributed the development to the feud between Edo state governor Godwin Obaseki and the PDP national vice chairman (Southsouth), Chief Dan Orbih.

GoldenNewsNg reports that The PDP defectors have directed a faction of their structure to support the LP senatorial candidate in Edo South, Ned Imasuen.

Imasuen, a former senior aide to serving Edo South PDP senator, Mathew Urhoghide, was said to have joined the race because the serving senator is not in the 2023 senatorial race.
