A court has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) local government congress in Ekiti State, delivering a significant ruling in the party’s ongoing internal disputes.
In its decision, the court upheld the result of the ward congress held on March 15, 2025. The exercise was conducted and duly signed by the returning officer and chairman of the ward congress committee, Hon. Afolabi Adekanmbi.
The ruling is expected to have major implications for the party’s structure ahead of the 2026 governorship election, as it effectively validates the leadership produced at the ward level while setting aside the outcome of the local government congress.
More details on the judgment and reactions from party stakeholders will be made available as they unfold.
