The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), one of Nigeria’s major political forces, has officially released a detailed timetable for its 2025 congresses scheduled to take place in 13 states across the federation. This announcement marks a crucial step in the party’s internal restructuring and preparation ahead of the 2027 general elections, as PDP strives to regain national dominance.
📍States Involved
Though the party has yet to release the full list of states publicly, sources confirm that the 13 states selected for these congresses are either due for fresh leadership or are considered politically strategic for the PDP’s comeback bid.
🗓️ What to Expect from the Congresses
The timetable includes schedules for:
Ward Congresses
Local Government Area (LGA) Congresses
State Congresses
Each stage is expected to usher in new executives tasked with repositioning the party at all levels. According to insiders, the congresses will commence in early 2025 and conclude before the end of the second quarter.
🔍 PDP’s Mission
The PDP leadership says the exercise is aimed at:
Strengthening internal democracy
Ensuring transparency and unity within the party
Building grassroots momentum ahead of the 2027 presidential elections
National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, stated that the congresses will serve as “a vital litmus test for the party’s readiness to return to power and provide alternative governance.”
