PDP Struggles with Zoning Issues Amid Presidential Election Preparations

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is facing challenges related to zoning as stakeholders demand a fair field among presidential hopefuls. The party, formed in 1998, has historically struggled with power struggles and mismanagement, leading to setbacks in recent elections.

The trajectory of the PDP's zoning of elective offices has become a contentious issue, especially in the lead-up to the 2023 presidential election. The 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in August highlighted internal divisions and challenges within the party.

Despite being a prominent opposition party, the PDP is grappling with internal conflicts that have affected its ability to bounce back to power. The issue of zoning remains a significant factor in the party's internal dynamics and future prospects.
