Nigeria’s electoral commission, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has formally recognised the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) headed by Shehu Gabam.
The commission reflected the development on its official website, updating the party’s leadership structure in line with Gabam’s faction. The move signals institutional backing for the current leadership amid internal party dynamics.
While details surrounding any disputes within the party were not immediately outlined, the update is likely to carry implications for the SDP’s organisational direction and political activities ahead of future elections.
INEC has not issued further clarification beyond the website update.
