The notice by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on its upcoming 100th National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting has been rejected by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
INEC cited refusal to adhere to procedure as reason for its rejection.
In a letter dated June 13, 2025 and addressed to the PDP National Chairman, INEC said the party’s notice lacked the needed endorsement.
The letter signed by INEC’s Acting Secretary, Hajiya Hau’ru Aminu, said the notification did not comply with the provisions of the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties.
INEC specifically referenced Part 2(12)3, which mandates that “the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Party shall jointly sign the notice of convention, congress, conference or meeting and submit same to the Commission.”
