The  Peoples Democratic Party is expected to   release its guidelines for the  governorship primary elections in Edo and Ondo States  this  week.
The  Independent National Electoral Commission  had since  released  the timetable for the primary elections in the two states.
The Edo governorship poll holds in September while the Ondo version takes place in October.
According to INEC, the primary elections will hold in Edo and Ondo states in June and July respectively.
The  PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, told our source in Abuja that the party had been working on  their  guidelines for primaries.
Ologbondiyan said, “We will work on it based on  INEC timetable. The  timetable will be our own guide. We will work out our own on the basis of the INEC timetable. We will release it maybe next week (this week).”
The PDP National Working Committee during its 89th emergency meeting had  said  the party would  conduct credible, free, fair and transparent congresses in 26 states.
Ologbondiyan said, “The irreducible parameters to conduct our congresses will be the presidential primary in Port Harcourt. Under the present leadership, we have tried as much as we can to ensure transparency in the conduct of our primaries. So we are not going to shift from that.”
The PDP National Chairman, Uche  Secondus, said  during the  89th PDP National Executive Committee meeting  the process for the conduct of the  congresses in 26 states was ongoing, promising  that  they would come out stronger and more united.
