Coalition Urges ADC to Zone 2027 Ticket to South

The Coalition for Progressive Democracy has called on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to zone its presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria in preparation for the 2027 general elections. This recommendation was part of a resolution reached during a strategic conference held in Abuja on Tuesday.

The coalition believes that zoning the ticket to the South will help the ADC build a broad base of national acceptance and enhance its chances of winning power in 2027. The communiqué issued at the end of the meeting highlighted the importance of maintaining a stable balance in Nigeria's political culture, which traditionally involves a rotation of power between the North and South.

The coalition argued that adopting this zoning principle would significantly improve the party's ability to mobilize support across key regions. Furthermore, the communiqué stressed the need for a credible political platform that reflects fairness and inclusivity, advocating for internal reforms within the ADC to strengthen its organizational structure.

The coalition concluded by emphasizing the necessity for stronger collaboration among opposition forces to build a viable alternative and restore public trust in governance.
