The Peoples Democratic Party has fixed December 6 for its presidential primary election, while that of the governorship race will hold across the states on November 29.
A source at the party’s national secretariat similarly stated that the primary elections for the National Assembly would hold on November 22.
The party source stated further that the dates, which are tentative, were arrived at by an enlarged caucus of the party at a meeting held at the Presidential villa, Abuja, Tuesday night.
The party’s Board of Trustees and the National Executive Committee are also expected to deliberate on the dates and come up with a decision on Thursday.
The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, confirmed the dates, but added that the dates were proposed by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Sale of forms for the various positions is expected to commence on October 28. The party’s political appointees interested in contesting any of the positions have been directed to resign their appointments by October 20.
