The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is engaging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to resolve the omission of some of its candidates from the final list of contestants in the 2027 general elections.
The PDP national publicity secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, said in a statement on Sunday that the party had noted with concern the omission of some of its candidates from the purported final list released by INEC on Saturday.
He assured all affected candidates, party members and supporters that the party was engaging with the commission to address the issues responsible for the omissions.
Mohammed said the engagement aimed to secure an amicable resolution in accordance with the law and established electoral guidelines.
“The PDP, therefore, assures all concerned that it is treating this development with the utmost seriousness it deserves and will communicate further developments as appropriate.
“The party is committed to ensuring that all legitimate concerns are properly addressed with the commission,” he said.
Mohammed urged affected candidates, members and supporters to remain calm, exercise patience and refrain from actions or statements that could undermine the ongoing engagements with INEC.
