The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday kicked against the passage of the harmonized Electoral Act amendment bill, which among other things, provided for direct primaries for nomination of candidates for elections by political parties.

A statement issued by National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the party is of the view that it is the inalienable right of each political party, within the context of our constitutional democracy, to decide its form of internal democratic practices including the processes of nominating its candidates for elections at any level.
The PDP also expressed the belief that no political party should force its own processes on any other political party as the direct primaries amendment, a practice, it pointed out, the All Progressives Congress (APC) sought to achieve.
“Having stated this, the PDP shall, within the next 48 hours, make its final decision in respect of this amendment known,” the statement said.
