PDP Logo Missing As INEC Begins Distribution Of Election Materials In Plateau

The distribution of sensitive electoral materials has commenced ahead of Saturday’s election in Plateau State.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct a re-run election on Saturday across the six Local Government Areas of the state.

Ahead of the poll, the electoral commission held the distribution process today at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) premises in Jos, the state capital.

Notably, the distribution was carried out in the presence of political party representatives, observers, journalists, and security personnel.

However, a significant issue arose during the distribution process. It was discovered that the ballot papers lacked the logo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), while other parties such as the All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Redemption Party (PRP), and Labour Party (LP) were properly represented on the ballots.

This development has caused tension in the area, as PDP members who had gathered to witness the distribution of the election materials protested against their party’s exclusion. They accused INEC of disregarding the Court of Appeal judgment, which stated that all parties should participate in the re-run election.
