The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) notice for its upcoming 100th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, citing procedural non-compliance. In a letter dated June 13, 2025, and addressed to the PDP National Chairman, INEC stated that the notice lacked the required endorsement. The letter, signed by INEC’s Acting Secretary, Hajiya Hau’ru Aminu, noted that the notification failed to meet the requirements set out in the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties. INEC specifically referenced Part 2(12)3, which mandates 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.” The letter reads partly: “The Commission draws your attention that the notice is not in compliance… Be guided.” On May 30, 2025, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) notified INEC of its intention to hold its NEC meeting at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja. Although the notice was submitted within the legally required 21-day window, it was signed solely by the Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, without the mandatory co-signature of the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
