The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, while retaining the existing National Working Committee (NWC) zoning formula ahead of the party’s November elective convention.
The decision was reached at the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on Monday.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the resolution followed the presentation of the Zoning Committee report chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
He confirmed that:
NEC expressed satisfaction with preparations for the November convention.
NEC recommended that the North and South should retain their current NWC positions.
Since the National Chairman of the party is zoned to the North, the 2027 presidential ticket has been zoned to the South.
