The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected a notice from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regarding its planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, citing a violation of established procedures.
In a letter dated June 13, 2025, addressed to the PDP’s Acting National Chairman, INEC stated that the notice failed to comply with Part 2(12)3 of the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties. The rule requires that such notices be jointly signed by both the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary.
The letter, signed by INEC’s Acting Secretary, Haliru Aminu, read in part:
“The Commission draws your attention to the fact that the notice is not in compliance with the requirement of Part 2(12)3 of the Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties, 2022, which stipulates that ‘the 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.’ Please be guided accordingly.”
