The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has weighed in on the ongoing internal crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging the warring factions to resolve their differences amicably. According to INEC, the electoral body is committed to upholding the provisions of the Constitution and the Electoral Act.

In a statement released by INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr. Sam Olumekun, the Commission noted that it is aware of the ongoing crisis within the PDP and the impending parallel national convention scheduled by some stakeholders in the party. INEC urged all stakeholders in the PDP to exercise restraint and pursue legal means to resolve their differences.

INEC’s statement is a clear indication that the Commission will not tolerate any actions that may undermine the electoral process or the rule of law. The PDP’s internal crisis has been ongoing for some time, and the party’s stakeholders are eagerly awaiting a resolution.

As the PDP navigates its internal crisis, the party’s stakeholders must prioritize unity and stability. The INEC’s statement serves as a reminder that the electoral body is committed to ensuring that all parties adhere to the rules and regulations guiding the electoral process.
