The Tanimu Turaki-led Interim National Working Committee (INWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has submitted the names of its presidential candidate, Goodluck Jonathan, manually to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The National Publicity Secretary of the faction, Ini Ememobong, said at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday that, in addition to Mr Jonathan, its presidential candidate, the faction also submitted the names of other flag bearers to INEC.
Mr Ememobong said the names were submitted manually following the inability of the faction to have access to INEC’s digital portal.
He said the names also submitted were those of governorship and National Assembly candidates, adding that the action was in full compliance with the extant provisions of electoral laws.
“We are pleased to announce that we have successfully submitted, manually, and in full compliance with the Electoral Act 2026, the entirety of the list of candidates sponsored by the authentic PDP.
