PDP Commences Digital Membership Drive Nationwide
•By Admin
ABUJA — THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will commence digital registration of its members nationwide on Monday in compliance with the Electoral Act 2026.
Recall that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) had on Friday kicked against the April 2 deadline for submission of digital membership registers, insisting that it is both excessive and exclusionary.
The ADC had also raised the alarm and dismisses the newly unveiled election timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), saying that by the time the clock runs out in early April 2026, many opposition parties may already be out of the race.
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP, has, however, approved the commencement of digital membership registration across all wards in the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Comrade Ini Ememobong, disclosed that the for the digital registration will begin on Monday, March 2, 2026 and will last for three weeks.
“The essence of this exercise is to compile the digital membership register in compliance with the Electoral Act 2026, which requires all political parties to submit the digital register of their members to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“Registration will hold every day (except on Sundays) at all Ward, Chapter and State offices of the Party (special cases will be handled at the National Secretariat), throughout the registration period. A special committee headed by the National Organising Secretary, Hon. Theophilus Daka Shan, has been set up to oversee the exercise and handle any complaints that may emanate therefrom.
“Members and the general public are encouraged to visit the nearest PDP office within their ward to register.”
