PDP Chairmen Vow Action Against Killings, Harassment of Candidates

In a meeting with the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the chairman of the forum, Hon. Austin Nwachukwu, expressed grave concerns over the rising incidents of violence and harassment targeting PDP candidates. According to Vanguard News, this meeting took place on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026. The chairmen, who represent the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, condemned the attacks and called for immediate action to protect their candidates and ensure a free and fair electoral process.

The PDP, Nigeria’s main opposition party, has been facing numerous challenges in its bid to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections. The party has accused the ruling party of using violence and other underhand tactics to intimidate its members and suppress opposition.

This latest move by the PDP chairmen underscores the party’s determination to stand up against such tactics and ensure a level playing field for all contestants. However, it remains unclear what specific actions the chairmen plan to take.
