The Peoples Democratic Party in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has said that it is fully prepared for February 21, 2026, area council elections.
The FCT Publicity Secretary of the party, Josephine Itoyah-Splendor, made the declaration in a statement on Sunday.
The party insisted that its candidates are duly qualified and recognised by both the party’s national leadership and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
This comes against the backdrop of ongoing internal wranglings within the party, including disputes involving a faction linked to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and other party stakeholders.
“Our candidates, men and women of proven integrity and commitment, have been duly approved and signed in by the Damagum-led National Working Committee,” the statement said.
The opposition party further explained that it is entering the polls united and confident of victory, dismissing reports questioning the eligibility of its candidates as misinformation.
