The notice by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on its upcoming 100th National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting has been rejected by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.<\/p>\n

INEC cited refusal to adhere to procedure as the reason for its rejection.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated June 13, 2025 and addressed to the PDP National Chairman, INEC said the party\u2019s notice lacked the needed endorsement.<\/p>\n

\"\"The letter, signed by INEC\u2019s Acting Secretary, Hajiya Hau\u2019ru Aminu, said the notification did not comply with the provisions of the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

INEC specifically referenced Part 2(12)3, which mandates that \u201cthe National Chairman and National Secretary of the Party shall jointly sign the notice of convention, congress, conference or meeting and submit same to the Commission.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter reads partly: \u201cThe Commission draws your attention that the notice is not in compliance\u2026 Be guided.\u201d<\/p>\n

On May 30, 2025, PDP had informed INEC of its readiness to conduct its NEC meeting at its National Secretariat in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The notice submitted by PDP within the 21-day timeframe required by law was only signed by the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, without the co-signature of the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.<\/p>\n
