The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kwara has dissolved all its caucuses across the 16 local government areas of the state, in a move for a major restructuring of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The decision, which took immediate effect, was reached by the State Executive Committee, SEC, and other key stakeholders following a closed-door meeting with the party leader and former President of the 8th Senate, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, during his recent homecoming and stakeholders’ engagements in the state.
State Publicity Secretary of the party, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, saying the move was aimed at repositioning the PDP for a stronger outing in the 2027 elections.
Adewara said, “the dissolution was part of a broader plan to refresh the party’s structures, introduce new hands and expand participation among members across the state.
“The journey towards 2027 has effectively commenced, the party needs a more effective and inclusive political machinery capable of delivering victory for the PDP at all levels.”
He explained that the decision was within the powers of the State Executive Committee to take necessary measures to strengthen, reposition and reorganise the party in the interest of its members and its electoral prospects.
The party also expressed appreciation to members of the dissolved caucuses for their contributions, loyalty and sacrifices towards the development of the PDP in Kwara.
“We sincerely appreciate all members of the outgoing caucuses for their dedication, sacrifices, loyalty and contributions to the growth and development of the PDP in Kwara State,” the statement said.
The party urged members of the dissolved caucuses to continue contributing their experience to the collective success of the party as preparations for the 2027 elections intensify.
It further appealed to party members to remain calm, united and committed, adding that arrangements were already underway for the recruitment, constitution and inauguration of new caucuses across the state.
