About our People's Democratic Party news

Latest news on PDP Nigeria (People's Democratic Party), covering political updates, elections, opposition activities, and key developments in Nigerian politics.

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) stands as one of Nigeria's two major contemporary political parties, alongside the All Progressives Congress (APC). With 36 seats in the Senate and 118 seats in the House of Representatives as of 2024, the PDP remains a significant force in Nigerian politics despite losing its position as the ruling party in 2015.

Under the leadership of Acting National Chairman Ambassador Umar Damagum, the PDP continues to function as the main opposition party in Nigeria. The party holds 13 governorships and maintains a strong presence in state Houses of Assembly with 329 seats across the nation. In the 2023 presidential election, the PDP's candidate Atiku Abubakar, with running mate Ifeanyi Okowa, secured 6.9 million votes, representing 29.07% of the total votes cast.

The PDP's influence extends beyond electoral politics, with the party maintaining strong grassroots connections through its extensive network of state chapters and local government structures. The party's signature green, white, and red colours and its umbrella symbol have become recognisable elements of Nigeria's political landscape, while its longstanding slogan "Power to the people" continues to resonate with supporters.

Founded in 1998, the PDP dominated Nigerian politics for 16 years, winning every presidential election from 1999 to 2011. Under its governance, Nigeria saw significant economic reforms, including the deregulation of the telecommunications sector and the establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme. The party's neoliberal economic stance, combined with conservative social policies, has historically defined its political ideology.

Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of PDP activities, from national conventions and policy announcements to electoral campaigns and internal party dynamics. Stay informed about Nigeria's largest opposition party through our regularly updated feed, featuring reports from trusted Nigerian and international news sources, analysis from political experts, and coverage of key events shaping the party's future.
