Ologunagba reassured aspirants and members that the party would conduct a free, fair, and transparent nomination process.

He said the National Working Committee has put mechanisms in place to prevent manipulation or favoritism.

“The NWC assures all party leaders, stakeholders, and members of a credible and transparent nomination exercise,” he stated.

The party also urged all interested aspirants to visit Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, to collect and return their forms on time.

Political observers say these by-elections will test the PDP’s strength ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The contests are expected to attract attention, especially in key battleground states like Kaduna, Anambra, Edo, and Ogun.

This development marks the first major internal mobilization by the PDP since the 2023 general elections.

With stakes high and power shifts expected, the by-elections could reshape the party’s influence going forward.
