The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has slated September 26 for its second National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the year.

The date was announced by the party through its 2024 adjusted timetable and schedule of activities for congresses, which were released to party members and stakeholders yesterday.

Ahead of the September NEC, the party has slated July 27th for the conduct of ward/delegate congresses to elect ward executives as well as three ad hoc delegates in 23 out of the 36 states of the country, including Abuja.

The timetable also disclosed that, among other things, the NEC is expected to ratify the list of executives that will emerge from the congresses.

According to the timetable, local government congresses to elect council executives and national delegates in 21 affected states are expected to follow on August 10th.

Recall that in April, the PDP held its first NEC meeting after acrimonious elections in 2023, where many of its high-profile members were involved in anti-party activities.

The party remains polarised, with some members supporting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the party, and others queuing behind the Federal Capital Territory minister, Nyesom Wike.

The outcome of the election and issues surrounding the role played by its leaders led to the suspension of the National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, by his Igyorov Ward Executive from the Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State. However, the effort to remove the Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Illiya Damagum, to allow the North Central region where Ayu hails from to produce its successor was deferred to the next NEC meeting earlier slated for August, which has now been shifted to September.
