The much awaited Peoples Democratic Party national convention is already ongoing at the Eagle Square, Abuja, Nigeria.
Party faithful from across the country and delegates have been arriving at the venue since Saturday morning.
More than 2,000 delegates have been scheduled to vote to fill the positions of the national chairman and several other national offices of the party.
The party has been under the supervision of different interim national executives since May 2015 when Adamu Mu’azu resigned as part of the fallout from losing the 2015 presidential election.
According to The Nation, aspirants are Uche Secondus, Gbenga Daniel, Jimi Agbaje, Rashidi Ladoja, Taoheed Adedoja, Tunde Adeniran, Raymond Dokpesi, Aderemi Olusegun and Chief Olabode George, who later withdrew from the race on Friday night.
George, Ladoja and Jimi have all pulled out on the eve of the race.
It appears Otunba Gbenga Daniel has also pulled of the race as delegates have now commenced voting into 21 national positions.
The Nation reports that around 5.35pm delegates began voting at the PDP national convention.
