PDP NEC: THE LEGAL BACKING FOR PDP NEC TO PROCEED TOMORROW WITH THE ELECTION OF A NORTH-CENTRAL CANDIDATE AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE PDP INVIEW OF AYU’S WITHDRAWAL OF CASE AGAINST PDP INLINE WITH ARTICLE 47(6) OF PDP CONSTITUTION

1. Article 47 (6) of pdp constitution states that once a vacancy occurs in any office of the party especially National Chairman Office,the NEC shall appoint another person from the area or zone where the officer originated to serve out the tenure of the officer.

2. Article 47(1) says that the tenure of office of the chairmanship zoned to north central is 4 years, so any continued hold of the office continues to exclude the north central from completing its 4 year zoned tenure as backed up by 47(6) which says another person from north central must be appointed to continue that tenure.
So Damaguns continued stay in office is unknown to the party's constitution.

3. Article 35(3)(d) The powers of the deputy chairman to act is limited by this section as he supposed to be in office to give effect to article 47(6) which requires him to act and call for nec to appoint an acting chairman.
