The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced that it will conduct its elective congress on Saturday, October 25, 2025, to elect new executives who will steer the party’s affairs in the state.
Political observers say the decision is part of the PDP’s effort to avoid the lapses that cost it several legislative seats during the 2023 general elections, when the All Progressives Congress (APC) capitalised on internal crises and structural deficiencies within the party to secure victories through the Court of Appeal rulings.
Congress scheduled for Jos South
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Chairperson of the PDP Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, Joyce Lohya Ramnap, the party announced that the congress would take place at the WAYE Foundation, Doi-Du, in Jos South Local Government Area, starting at 10:00 a.m. prompt.
“The Plateau State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party wishes to inform its teeming members, supporters, and the general public that arrangements have been concluded for the conduct of the Plateau State Elective Congress scheduled to hold on Saturday, 25th October 2025,” the statement read.
