The merger highlights SDP members' dissatisfaction with the current political environment, which they describe as autocratic.
Yakubu Asimu, SDP's Deputy Chairman in Edo State, expressed this sentiment: "We're weary of the entrenched autocracy and lack of progress in Edo State. Joining forces with Accord demonstrates our commitment to change and transparent, accountable government."
The alliance is anticipated to gain further traction, with at least two other political parties expected to endorse Enabulele shortly.
This burgeoning support signifies a potential shift in Edo State's political landscape, reflecting a widespread call for reform and a new governance approach.
