PDP Seeks Resolution with INEC Over Candidate Omissions
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has initiated discussions with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address the omission of several candidates from the final list of governorship candidates for the 2027 elections, which was released on Saturday. PDP National Publicity Secretary Jungudo Mohammed stated that the party is treating this issue with utmost seriousness and is seeking an amicable resolution in accordance with legal and electoral guidelines.
The affected candidates include Ladi Adebutu in Ogun and Isa Ali Pantami in Gombe, with no PDP candidates listed in either state. The party has urged its members and supporters to remain calm and patient while the discussions with INEC are ongoing.
The omission was highlighted in a list signed by INEC Secretary Rose Oriaran-Anthony, which featured 13 candidates in Ogun and 16 in Gombe, excluding the PDP entirely.
