The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says that it recognizes Senator Ahmed Makarfi as the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a statement issued by its Deputy Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Nick Dazang on Tuesday in Abuja, the electoral body said it ratified the administrative approval granted Makarfi, based on the judgment of a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt.
He noted that the ratification was a follow up to INEC’s Decision Extract, issued on July 14, 2016 and signed by the Director, Commission’s Secretariat, Mr Ishiaku Gali.
According to Dazang, INEC will recognise the National Caretaker Committee's activities like primary elections for political officers and the party's list of candidates for any election to be conducted by INEC.
“Two weeks ago, the commission received the candidate forwarded to it by the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the PDP, which had earlier secured an order from the Port Harcourt High Court,’’ he explained.
