Labour Party (LP) has lost another member in the House of Representatives from Plateau State, Hon Alfred Ajang, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This came barely 48 hours after the LP member representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom federal constituency of Plateau State, Hon. Dalyop Chollom, defected to the APC on Tuesday.

Ajang who represents Jos South/Jos East federal constituency of Plateau State announced his defection via a letter read by the speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas at resumed plenary on Thursday.

This brings the number of LP lawmakers who dumped their party for APC within one week to six as four members of the opposition party in the House – Tochukwu Okere (Imo), Donatus Mathew (Kaduna), Bassey Akiba (Cross River), and Iyawe Esosa (Edo) joined the ruling APC last Thursday.

In the letter of defection, Ajang cited the crisis in the Labour Party and the need for realignment with the national development agenda of the APC under the leadership of former President Muhammadu Buhari and now President Bola Tinubu as his reasons for joining the ruling party.

He also said the defection was informed by his admiration for the infrastructural and economic development strides of the APC-led federal government and the need to replicate the same in his constituency as well as the limited influence of LP in the governance structure.
