The Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) has disclosed that for the forthcoming 2015 presidential elections it will form alliance with either the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP or the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Alhaji Abdullahi Mohammed, Acting National Secretary, DPP, said this in an interview with newsmen on Thursday in Abuja.
"We may likely go into alliance with any of the principal political parties, either the APC or the PDP or we shall endorse one of the presidential candidates. But as for the other offices at the local level, our party members are free to contest for any elective post they so wish.’’
He said the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party had set up a committee to examine the possibility of joining either the PDP or APC.
Mohammed said there was still unfinished business and that the party could only decide when the other two parties fielded their presidential candidates.
"Until then, we cannot blindly go into alliance with any of them.''
He stressed that "the party can only support either of these parties if it presents a candidate of our choice; we are not supporting party but the presidential candidate of the party''.
He added that the party's nomination forms were not yet on sale because "we have not yet fixed the price''.
"What we intend to do is to endorse the price we used for the 2011 elections.''
According to him, there are persons showing interest in other posts, therefore the forms might be released for sale next week.
He said that DPP would not sell the forms for millions of naira.
