The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has decided to throw open its 2023 presidential ticket to all sections of the country, rather than zone it to a particular region.
The opposition party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed this at the end of the PDP’s National Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.
Ologunagba said the decision to throw open the ticket was in line with the recommendation made by the party’s zoning committee.
He also disclosed that the PDP will conduct its Presidential Primary (Special National Convention) to elect the party’s presidential candidate on Saturday, May 28 and Sunday May 29, 2022 in Abuja.
“After a very extensive deliberation NEC aligned with the recommendation of the PDP National Zoning Committee that the Presidential Election should now be left open. The party should also work towards consensus candidate where possible.
“NEC noted the recommendation of the Zoning Committee that in the interest of justice and fair play, the Party should take decision on Zoning timeously so as to prevent complications to the process,” he said.
