The Independent National Electoral Commission has revised its official portal to list Hakeem Baba-Ahmed as the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party.
The change comes after the party’s recent national convention held in Abuja.
The update appears to resolve earlier uncertainties surrounding the party’s leadership arrangement, particularly as political groups begin early preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
A review of INEC’s updated records shows Baba-Ahmed named among members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
Other officials now recognised include Kanu Sunday Uchenna as National Secretary, Bayawo Yunusa Abdullahi as National Treasurer, Chuka Patrick as National Financial Secretary, and Vincent Danladi Okudu as National Legal Adviser.
Reacting to the development, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Bello Ishaq, welcomed the move and rejected reports suggesting internal divisions within the party.
“The update signifies INEC’s recognition of PRP’s new leadership following the successful convention,” he said.
He added, “It is important to categorically state that there is no such thing as a faction within the PRP, the claims are baseless.”
During the convention, Baba-Ahmed emerged alongside other national officers, including Deputy National Chairman (North), Mallam Buhari Haruna, and National Organising Secretary, Haruna Nanven.
The party also inaugurated zonal representatives to oversee its activities across various regions of the country.
