SDP Plans to Deploy Agents to 176,846 Polling Units

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is preparing for the 2027 general elections by committing to deploy agents to 176,846 polling units across Nigeria. Araba Rufus Ayenigba, the National Publicity Secretary of the SDP, made this announcement during an interview with the Nigerian Tribune in Abuja.

He indicated that the process of uploading the party's agents would commence in a few days, with training provided by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the party's personnel, alongside those from other political parties. The SDP has previously conducted nationwide training and capacity-building exercises for its sub-national officers, supported by international development partners.

Ayenigba expressed confidence in the party's structural and logistical readiness, stating that funding for logistics would come from the party's treasury, financial support from candidates, grassroots support, and a pool of volunteers. He emphasized that the success of the elections would depend on adherence to rules by the INEC, political parties, and stakeholders.
