The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formally resolved to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, while maintaining the existing National Working Committee (NWC) zoning arrangement ahead of its 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, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, explained that the resolution followed the presentation of a report by the Zoning Committee chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
He noted that the NEC also expressed satisfaction with the level of preparations for the November convention.
According to Ologunagba, “NEC recommended that the North and South should retain their current NWC positions.
“NEC also resolved that since the National Chairman of the party is zoned to the North, the PDP 2027 Presidential ticket is hereby zoned to the South.”
