The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South while retaining the existing National Working Committee (NWC) zoning arrangement ahead of its November elective convention.
The decision was taken at the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Monday at the national headquarters in Abuja.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the decision followed the presentation of the zoning committee’s report, chaired by Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri.
The publicity secretary added that the NEC expressed satisfaction with preparations for the party’s national convention scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to him, the convention will be a crucial step in strengthening the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.
