Cross River: PDP announces 20 campaign directorates ahead of 2027 elections
The Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River on Wednesday announced the establishment of 20 campaign directorates as part of efforts to reposition the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
The decision was announced in a communiqué issued at the end of the party’s 40th State Working Committee.
The meeting was the first the new state chairman, Francis Bullem, presided over since he assumed office on Friday.
The approved directorates include security, finance, media and publicity, mobilisation, youth mobilisation, women affairs, strategy, administration, and human resources.
Others are elections monitoring, voter education and outreach, planning, research and documentation, logistics and transport, field operations, legal services, and inter-party affairs.
The remaining directorates are civil society and support groups, online media and social networks, people with disabilities, students’ mobilisation, diaspora affairs, protocol and events, and welfare.
The SWC also resolved to collapse the party’s Strategic Committee into the Elders Forum in accordance with the provisions of the party’s constitution.
It further approved the harmonisation of all candidates’ campaign structures with the party’s existing structures to ensure unity of command and effective coordination.
Under the arrangement, directors-general of candidates’ campaign organisations would function as directors within the party’s campaign structure.
The committee also approved a change in the nomenclature of the state chairman from the director-general of campaigns to the chairman of the campaign council.
The SWC congratulated Mr Bullem on his appointment as the party’s seventh substantive chairman in the state and expressed confidence in his ability to unite and reposition the party.
It pledged loyalty and support to his leadership while passing a vote of confidence in the party’s leadership.
The committee urged members to uphold discipline, loyalty, and party supremacy, warning against activities capable of undermining the party’s unity.
It reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the PDP across the state’s 18 local government areas and wards ahead of the 2027 elections.
