PDP presidential candidate to emerge November

The Presidential flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2015 election would emerge November, three months to the election.
According to report, the National Working Committee, NWC, of the ruling party would conduct a Special National Convention to formally approve the appointment of Alhaji Adamu Muazu who took over from Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as PDP National Chairman in January 20, 2014.
It would be recalled that the Deputy National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, who presided over the election of Mu’azu, quoted section 47 (6) of the party’s constitution which empowers NEC to elect a new official to fill vacancy created by the resignation of an elected official.
The motion for the nomination of Muazu  was moved by the Governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda, and was seconded by the Senate Leader, Senator Victor  Ndoma – Egba.
Vanguard reports that ahead of the November Convention where the presidential candidate of the PDP would emerge, it then became necessary to convene a convention first in September to give Muazu’s emergence, the needed Constitutional recognition.

According to PDP’s constitution, Chapter 33(10), ” A special National Convention may be convened at any time at the instance of the National Executive Committee or if requested for by two- third of all State Congresses and the Special National Convention shall meet to discuss only special matters which shall be specified in the notice summoning the Convention.”
