The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has resolved to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South while retaining the existing National Working Committee (NWC) structure for its November elective convention.
The decision was announced on Monday in Abuja after the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, told journalists that the move followed the presentation of a report by the Zoning Committee chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
“NEC recommended that the North and South should retain their current NWC positions,” Ologunagba said. “Since the National Chairman of the party is zoned to the North, the PDP 2027 presidential ticket is hereby zoned to the South.”
He added that the NEC expressed satisfaction with preparations ahead of the November convention.
