The Peoples Democratic Party has fixed September 29, 2026, for the conduct of a fresh governorship primary election in Gombe State.
The decision followed the nullification of the party’s May 26, 2026, governorship primary by the Federal High Court sitting in Gombe.
The court, on September 24, 2026, nullified the earlier primary and ordered the PDP to conduct a fresh exercise.
In a telephone interview by the Public Relations Officer, Abdulkadir Dukku, on Saturday the PDP directed all eligible delegates to assemble at their respective ward areas for the fresh primary.
Dukku said, “All eligible delegates are hereby directed to assemble at their respective ward areas to participate in the exercise and vote for the aspirant of their choice.”
The party also urged its members, supporters and well-wishers to cooperate with the arrangements for the fresh primary.
He called on participants to conduct themselves peacefully and orderly throughout the exercise and comply with the guidelines put in place for the conduct of the election.
The fresh primary is expected to produce the PDP candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Gombe State.
