The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a new turn after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) rejected the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Turaki. The decision has further exposed deep divisions within the opposition party as it struggles to resolve its internal leadership disputes.

INEC’s refusal means the electoral body does not officially recognise the Turaki-led group as the legitimate leadership of the PDP. This development follows ongoing disagreements within the party over congresses, court cases, and claims of authority by rival factions.

Party insiders say the rejection could affect the PDP’s preparations for upcoming political activities, including conventions, primaries, and engagements with INEC. Analysts warn that unless the crisis is quickly resolved, the party may face serious challenges ahead of future elections.

As reactions continue to trail INEC’s decision, PDP leaders and stakeholders are expected to intensify talks aimed at restoring unity. Many supporters are urging the party to put internal differences aside and focus on rebuilding trust and stability within its ranks.
