UPDATED: PDP Zones 2027 Presidential Slot To South, North Retains Chairmanship
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South while retaining the national chairmanship in the North.
This resolution was reached at the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, which also confirmed Umar Damagum as National Chairman.
Damagum, who became acting chairman in March 2023 after Senator Iyorchia Ayu’s suspension, had previously served as PDP Deputy National Chairman (North).
The zoning issue remains contentious, with the ruling APC already adopting President Bola Tinubu as its 2027 candidate. PDP faced internal crisis in 2023 when Atiku Abubakar clinched its ticket, prompting former Rivers governor Nyesom Wike to back Tinubu.
Now Minister of the FCT, Wike had in May warned that zoning the PDP ticket to the North again would be a costly mistake, urging the party to act strategically ahead of 2027.
