PDP cancels Kaduna central senatorial primary election 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Friday, cancelled the Kaduna Central senatorial primary election held on May 3, 2022.

A statement signed by the Kaduna state PDP Secretary, Ibrahim Wusono, stated that the decision to cancel the election was taken based on the National Assembly Appeal Committee report and recommendation.

The secretary of the state chapter of the PDP, Ibrahim Wusono, told newsmen, that the cancellation was due to several petitions filed by the aspirants to the election appeal committee.

He, however, said that the Kaduna Central Senatorial primary election will not hold on June 4, 2022, as earlier stated.

Wusono noted that the state chapter of the party awaits further directives from the party’s national headquarters.

Sources within the PDP tells this reporter, that they were concerns raised over the emergence of a new entrant, Sardaunan Badarawa who recently decamped from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to the party.

“Sardaunan’s move to our party has unsettled a lot of our members, the confusion is heightened as some party members fear the ticket is going to be handed to Sardaunan who only joined our party”, a source who does not want his name mentioned said.

Another source says Sardaunan will be facing Mohammed Lawal who had emerged through a process unacceptable to other aspirants in the race and the development has thrown the party into confusion as the deadlines given by INEC approaches.
