The Peoples Democratic Party has convened an emergency meeting of its National Working Committee.
The meeting was convened in a bid to examine urgent issues arising, including the likelihood of rescheduling its national convention slated for today.
The NWC meeting, which is currently underway in Abuja, is anticipated to deal with issues around the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to extend the deadline for the conclusion of party primaries across the country.
INEC had, in a statement on Friday night, explained how it was urged by the council of political parties to extend the time for primaries following outstanding issues emanating from the exercise across the country.
The decision made way to shift the primaries’ deadline from June 3 to June 9.
