There are indications that the PDP in Edo state may not be allowed to participate in the upcoming Edo 2016 gubernatorial race due to the crisis currently rocking the national leadership of the party.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s Deputy Director for Public affairs, Nick Dazang, who disclosed this on “Political Platform,” a programme on Ray Power FM Radio Station, on Thursday, the commission is yet to take a position on the leadership crisis rocking the party, though a delegation that monitored the party’s recent national convention had submitted its report but it was yet to decide on it.
Nick Dazang who described the PDP as being in a state of flux, also added that the party risked not taking part in the Edo State governorship election if the leadership crisis was not resolved soon.
He explained that in line with the timetable and the schedule of the governorship election unfolded by the election, parties participating in the election were expected to hold their primary elections between June 2 and July 4 to pick their candidates.
He stressed, “I expect that a very responsible party, a formidable party for that matter like the PDP will put its acts together in time for it particularly to collect the forms for those that will conduct the elections in Edo and Ondo and also to conduct the primaries that will lead up to who will now be their standard bearer for Edo governorship election to be conducted on Saturday 10 September.
“The primaries are supposed to take place between 2nd June and 4th July. So, we expect that between now and then the PDP should be able to resolve some of these issues in the interest of that election.”
