The Independent National Electoral Commission has refused to recognize the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The commission in a letter with reference number INEC /LEG/PDP/19/111.25 dated October 2, 2013 and signed by the Acting Secretary of the
Commission, U.F Usman insisted on the leadership of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as the authentic leadership of the National Working Committee of the
party.
The INEC letter was a reply to Mr. Baraje faction's letter to the commission, in which it notified the commission on the "change of leadership" within the party.
A former governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola wrote the letter just as the commission's letter was also addressed to him.
