INEC Sacks Baraje’s PDP, Recognises Tukur’s NWC


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has pulled out the rug from the feet of the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP): it refused to recognise the new PDP.
INEC had dropped the bombshell in a letter to the Baraje faction dated October 3, declining the faction’s application seeking to be recognised as the authentic leadership of the PDP. The regulatory body insisted that the Alhaji Bamanga Tukur-led executive remains the authentic leadership of the PDP.
According to the letter by INEC with reference number INEC /LEG/PDP/19/111.25 and signed by U.F Usuman, acting secretary of the commission, the leadership of Tukur remains the authentic leadership of the National Working Committee (NWC), adding that it will not withdraw its recognition of leadership of the PDP elected at the election duly monitored by the commission.
