A high-powered delegation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) met with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja on Tuesday.

The delegation was led by PDP Acting National Chairman Ambassador Umar Damagum over the leadership crisis in the party.

The delegation was received by INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, alongside National Commissioners, senior aides, and key directors at the Commission’s headquarters.

“The purpose of the visit was clear: to engage INEC directly on pressing internal matters affecting the PDP, particularly those requiring the Commission’s regulatory clarification,” INEC disclosed in a Facebook post.

Meanwhile, in his opening remarks, Professor Yakubu reaffirmed INEC’s commitment to its statutory responsibilities, stating “our role is to ensure that the rules are followed.”

With formalities concluded, the meeting transitioned into a closed-door session, where the PDP leadership and INEC officials were expected to discuss and seek mutual understanding on the path forward.
