Party officials in Abuja and Ado-Ekiti confirmed the shift but did not immediately provide a new date for the exercise. The adjustment, according to sources within the party, was aimed at resolving last-minute issues involving delegates, logistics, and internal consultations among key stakeholders.

The PDP had intensified preparations for the Ekiti primary in recent weeks, with aspirants and their supporters engaging in vigorous campaigns across the state. However, insiders said the leadership opted for a brief postponement to ensure that the process runs smoothly and without internal disputes that could affect the credibility of the exercise.
INEC’s election timetable allows parties until November 11 to conduct primaries and submit the names of their candidates. With the PDP’s decision to reschedule, the opposition party now faces a tight timeframe to complete the process and meet all submission requirements before the deadline expires.
The upcoming governorship election in Ekiti is viewed as a key test for the PDP, which is working to reclaim the state after losing power to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in previous polls. Party leaders have expressed confidence that a transparent and well-organized primary would strengthen the PDP’s chances in the 2026 race.
Political observers in the state say the postponement could either help the party fine-tune its strategy or deepen existing tensions among aspirants if not properly managed. For now, members await the announcement of a new date as the PDP moves to finalize its preparations within the remaining days allowed by INEC.
