The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the formation of a South South Zonal Caretaker Committee to oversee party activities in the region.

The newly appointed caretaker committee will begin operations on Monday, March 10, 2025, and will manage the party’s affairs for three months or until a new executive is elected.
According to the PDP, the decision to set up the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee is in line with the party’s constitution, which allows for such an arrangement when necessary. The committee will be responsible for maintaining order, coordinating party activities, and ensuring a smooth transition to a new leadership team when elections are held.
