INEC officially lists Abdulrahman Mohammed-led PDP NWC, affirming Wikeβs faction as legitimate party leadership ahead of 2027 elections
This recognition ends weeks of internal party disputes and confirms the legitimacy of the faction supported by former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike. The acknowledgment grants the Wike-led NWC full authority to oversee party operations, including congresses, nominations, and administrative functions.
Political observers note that INECβs recognition could significantly influence PDPβs strategic positioning at both federal and state levels as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections. The development also signals a strengthened hand for Wikeβs faction in shaping party policies and electoral strategies nationwide.
