The People's Democratic Movement (PDM) stated it would only participate in the forthcoming governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States after its congresses and national conventions.
Mr. Alaba Yusuf, the Media Adviser to PDM Chairman Malam Bashir Ibrahim, made disclosed this on Monday in Abuja.
He explained the party would field candidates for any office after its congresses.
"The party should be through with these processes before the governorship elections in the two states, Ekiti and Osun. It is from the congresses that the party flag bearers will emerge."
The party would commence the manual registration of members from January next year as the online registration was ongoing. The manual registration would be done at the various wards across the country.
Mr. Yusuf said those that registered online could go to their wards and obtain the membership cards.
The media adviser also urged eligible voters to come out en masse and vote during elections.
In earlier statements, Mr. Yusuf also said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should not use the emergency rule imposed on Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states as an excuse to deny the electorate in these states their rights to vote in 2015.
"Eligible voters should not be denied the right to vote on account of insecurity in any part of the country," he particularly said.
He urged the Federal Government to resolve the crisis to enable INEC to conduct peaceful, free and fair general elections.
"The PDM will continue to plead with eligible voters not to lose faith but to come out en masse to vote during the general elections," he said.
