Court Stops PDP's 2025 National Convention Over Constitutional Breaches

The Federal High Court in Abuja has halted the People's Democratic Party (PDP) from proceeding with its planned 2025 National Convention scheduled for November 15-16 in Ibadan, Oyo State. The court's decision came after three PDP members, including the PDP chairmen of Imo and Abia states, filed a lawsuit alleging violations of the party's constitution and due process.

The plaintiffs argued that the convention plan violated the PDP constitution, the 1999 Constitution, and the Electoral Act. The court directed the PDP to comply with its rules before proceeding with the convention.
