JUST-IN: Plateau Governor Mutfwang Formally Quits PDP

Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has officially resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter addressed to the PDP chairman of his Ampang West Ward, Dasjak Sunday Longyol, and dated December 29, 2025, the governor cited the need for an alternative political platform to better serve the state as the reason for leaving the party.

He expressed his gratitude to the party for providing him a platform to participate in the democratic process.

Mutfwang explained that his decision was guided by his commitment to purposeful leadership, clarity of direction, and service delivery.

The letter, which was personally signed by Mutfwang personally, read, “I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect.

“I sincerely appreciate the PDP for providing me the political platform to participate in the democratic process.

“I appreciate the support of party leaders, members, and supporters at all levels during my time in the party, and I remain grateful for the trust reposed in me.

“Given the realities of the moment, and guided by my commitment to purposeful leadership, clarity of direction, and service delivery, I am compelled to seek an alternative political platform.

“Please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”

However, the governor did not disclose which party he was moving into.

The governor’s resignation comes after months of speculation about Mutfwang joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).
