Following the announcement by INEC of August 3rd, 2019 as the date for the conduct of the bye-election for Pengana Constituency of Plateau State House of Assembly after the demise of the Member-Elect, Late Hon. Ezekiel Afon, the PDP in Plateau State under the leadership of Hon. Chris A. Hassan has constituted a five-member committee to liaise with PDP Bassa LGA to conduct credible Primary election that will produce the Candidate for the election.

Even though Hon. Yakubu Bussa-Buji was the PDP Candidate during the March 9th, 2019 and came 2nd, there is no indication if he will be considered as a consensus Candidate of the Party.

The resolution of the constitution of the committee was contained in a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon. John T. Akans, Ksm and made available to Viewpoint Nigeria which reads:
