"Impending Gathering Takes on Significance for PDP's Coming Dynamics - Insights from NEC Members"
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is gearing up for its National Elective Convention, scheduled for November 15-16, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State. This crucial event marks a significant milestone for the party as it aims to elect 19 new members to its National Working Committee (NWC) and position itself as a formidable opposition against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP's Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, considers the convention a defining moment for the party, expressing optimism that it will be conducted in a free, fair, and credible manner. The Deputy National Legal Adviser, Okechukwu Osuoha, shares this sentiment, believing that such a convention will strengthen the party's unity.
The party has taken several steps to ensure the convention's credibility. The National Executive Council (NEC) and National Working Committee (NWC) have committed to a transparent, credible, and peaceful electoral process. The convention's oversight will be shared between the National Convention Committee and the Zoning Committee, with the latter presenting a position on which zone will produce which NWC position at the next NEC.
A detailed timetable has been released, outlining nomination forms sale, screening of aspirants, appeals, and publication of final aspirants well ahead of the convention. This structured and organized preparation is a testament to the party's commitment to a well-run event.

Official notification to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) about the convention indicates a level of formal recognition and regulatory compliance.
