The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is engaging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the omission of some of its candidates from the final list of contestants for the 2027 general elections.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Jungudo Mohammed, disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja.

Mohammed said the PDP had noted with concern that some candidates were missing from the list released by INEC on Saturday. He assured affected candidates, members and supporters that the party was working with the commission to address the issues behind the omissions.

According to him, the engagement seeks 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,” he said.

“The party is committed to ensuring that all legitimate concerns are properly addressed with the commission.”

The statement did not identify the affected candidates, their constituencies or the number of omissions. It also did not explain why the names were missing or provide a timeline for resolving the matter.

Mohammed urged affected candidates and party supporters to remain calm and exercise patience while discussions continued.

He also asked them to avoid actions or statements that could undermine the engagement with INEC.

The party said it would communicate further developments as the process progressed.
