The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has nullified the outcome of the party’s January 15, 2022, Ekiti State delegate congress.
The PDP National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, who announced this after an emergency NWC meeting on Monday night, said the Ekiti State governorship primary election will be conducted using the statutory/automatic delegates list.
The primary election is billed to hold on Wednesday.
Ayu called for the immediate withdrawal of all court actions instituted by aggrieved parties in the dispute.
According to him, the decision of the party’s leadership was binding on all stakeholders in Ekiti State.
The party had earlier elected a three-member ad hoc ward delegate to elect the PDP flag bearer in the June 18 governorship election.
