The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has formally received persons who recently defected from the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, into the the ruling Peoples Democratic party, PDP in Plateau State.
The decampees were received on Wednesday September 25, 2024 during the official presentation of certificates/flags to the Chairman and Councilorship candidates respectively of the PDP in Kanam Local Government Area as well as the flag-off of campaign ahead of the October 9th Local Government Elections held in Dengi Mini Stadium, Kanam Local Government Area of Plateau State.

They led at least over 20,000 supporters from the APC into the PDP across Kanam local government area with a promise to join forces with the PDP to deliver good governance to the people.
Receiving the decampees on behalf of the PDP Zonal Chairman Plateau Central, Monday Daspan thanked new members for choosing the PDP while urging them to mobilize their supporters into the PDP for future successes.
