Opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South of Nigeria.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, disclosed this while addressing journalists shortly after the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
According to Olugunagba, the decision followed the presentation of a report by the Zoning Committee chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
He further disclosed that the party also retained the existing National Working Committee (NWC) zoning formula for the November elective convention.
”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,” he added.
Besides, the party’s Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, was elevated to substantive status.
