2027: NDC Zones Presidential Ticket to South
The party said the zoning plan promotes fairness and inclusiveness and opens the way for southern aspirants to seek its 2027 nomination.
- On Saturday, the Nigeria Democratic Congress announced at its national convention in Abuja that the party's 2027 presidential ticket is zoned to the South, with the 2031 slot allocated to the North.
- Delegates approved the motion proposed by Ogbaru Constituency Representative Afam Victor Ogene to promote national unity and fairness; the party claims this zoning structure prevents recurring internal crises associated with presidential contests.
- This resolution enables former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, who recently defected to the NDC, to purchase presidential nomination forms ahead of primaries.
- Under the leadership of Bayelsa West Senator Seriake Dickson, the NDC has gained momentum in the National Assembly through recent defections from other parties, emerging as a rapidly growing opposition platform.
- It is expected that Obi and Kwankwaso will compete for the party's flag in the 2027 presidential election. The NDC, formed as a coalition, aims to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress .
