The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commenced a nationwide digital membership registration exercise, beginning Monday, March 2, 2026, in compliance with the requirements of the new Electoral Act 2026.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, announced that the National Working Committee (NWC) has approved the exercise to run for three weeks across all wards in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
According to the party, the registration is aimed at compiling a comprehensive digital membership register as mandated by the Electoral Act 2026, which requires all political parties to submit their digital membership registers to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The PDP stated that registration will hold daily, except on Sundays, at all ward, chapter, and state offices of the party throughout the registration period. Special cases will be handled at the National Secretariat in Abuja.
To ensure a smooth and transparent process, the party has constituted a special committee headed by the National Organising Secretary, Hon. Theophilus Daka Shan, to oversee the exercise and address any complaints that may arise.
The party urged its members and the general public to visit the nearest PDP ward office to register and be captured in the party’s digital database.
“Members and the general public are encouraged to visit the nearest PDP office within their ward to register,” the statement read.
The move is seen as part of the PDP’s preparations for the 2027 general elections, as parties position themselves to meet INEC’s new requirements under the Electoral Act 2026.
