The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it has uploaded more than 70 per cent of its governorship and state Houses of Assembly candidates for the 2027 general elections to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) portal.
Truthng reports that the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, disclosed this on Saturday, saying the exercise was progressing smoothly after minor technical challenges encountered on the electoral commission’s portal were resolved.
Mohammed said the PDP had already uploaded more than 18 governorship candidates out of the 28 expected, adding that the figure could have risen further as officials continued the exercise across the country.
He also dismissed suggestions that internal challenges could affect the submission process, insisting that the party had deployed adequate personnel to ensure that all required candidates were uploaded within the stipulated period.
“For the uploading of our candidates, we have gone past 70 per cent because, as of my last communication with the National Organising Secretary, we had uploaded over 18 governorship candidates out of 28. So, I can be sure that we have done 70 per cent, if not more, because the party leadership has deployed sufficient manpower, and they are working around the country to upload,” Mohammed said.
He added that the difficulties encountered during the exercise were limited to the INEC portal and were quickly addressed.
“There were just some minor technical issues with the portal, but they were promptly rectified by INEC, and the uploading process continued. But we didn’t have any problem as regards our internal processes. Everything is going on as smoothly as it should,” he stated.
Mohammed further said the party leadership remained focused on preparations for the 2027 elections and would not allow internal disagreements or external pressures to derail its plans.
