Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party.
In a resignation letter dated December 29, 2025, and addressed to the Ward Chairman of the PDP in Ampang West Ward, Mangu Local Government Area, the governor announced his decision to leave the party with immediate effect.
The development ends his long-standing association with the party on whose platform he was elected into office.
“I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the PDP with immediate effect,” Mutfwang stated in the letter.
He expressed appreciation to the party and its leadership at all levels for the support he received during his time in the PDP, noting that the party played a significant role in his political journey.
“I sincerely appreciate the PDP for providing me the political platform to participate in the democratic process. I acknowledge the support of party leaders, members, and supporters at all levels during my time in the party, and I remain grateful for the trust in me,” he said.
Explaining his decision, the governor cited what he described as the “realities of the moment,” stressing his commitment to effective governance and service to the people of the state.
“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,” the letter read.
The resignation letter was officially received on December 30, 2025, by the Ward Chairman of Ampang West Ward, Mr Dasjak Sunday, confirming the governor’s exit from the party.
Mutfwang concluded the letter by extending his regards to the party leadership, saying, “Please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”
However, the governor has yet to announce the political party he intends to join.
