The PDP will commence the process that will culminate in its 101st NEC meeting.

The meeting, during which the date of its convention will be decided, will lead to the election of new national officers.

They will take the party through the primaries and the 2027 general election.

The PDP National Working Committee, NWC, and the Board of Trustees, BoT, will meet to resolve outstanding issues before the NEC meeting.

The party has been hit by the defection of prominent chieftains to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the coalition platform.
