INEC Rejects PDP's Turaki Faction Over Court Disputes, Deepening Leadership Crisis

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has formally rejected the Kabiru Turaki-led faction of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) over ongoing court disputes, refusing to recognize their National Working Committee. INEC cited existing court judgments and ongoing litigation surrounding the PDP's leadership dispute as reasons for maintaining its current stance.

This development poses a significant setback for the Turaki-led group and raises fresh concerns about the PDP's internal stability ahead of future electoral activities. INEC's decision signals a commitment to staying out of internal party conflicts, especially amid legal processes.

Stakeholders are urged to seek clarity and resolution through the courts.
