PDP Dissolves Kano State Executive Led by Dr Bello Gambo Bichi

Kano State's PDP apparatus has undergone a major restructuring. All members of the State Working Committee, along with Chairman Dr Bello Gambo Bichi, have been removed from their roles, effective September 24, 2026.

The party's National Working Committee made this determination, which was formally announced through correspondence. Hon. Umar M.

Bature, serving as National Organising Secretary, signed the letter conveying this action to Kano's state leadership. Senior party officials engaged in extensive consultation before reaching this decision.

Party leaders have characterized the move as part of broader efforts to reconcile divisions and bring unity to the Kano PDP. Publicly, Dr Bichi has signaled his acceptance of the removal, framing it as his own sacrifice toward strengthening organizational cohesion.

The impact of this action is confined to structures at the state level. Across Kano, committees operating at ward and local government tiers continue functioning without interruption.

Responsibility for managing party activities in the state now rests with the North-West Caretaker Committee, a regional body within the PDP, which will remain in charge until new elections produce a replacement State Working Committee. This restructuring coincides with broader shifts in how the party manages candidate selection procedures for forthcoming elections.

The available information does not establish explicit connections between the dissolution and specific candidate-related matters or internal Kano chapter disputes. No schedule has been communicated by the PDP regarding when elections for the reconstituted state executive will occur.
