NDC in Bauchi Stays Committed to 2027 Race After Resignation
Abdullahi Maigari Misau, the Bauchi State chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), confirmed the party's commitment to the 2027 governorship election despite the resignation of its candidate, Barr. Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim, effective October 16, 2026. Kashim, who previously served as the Secretary to the Bauchi State Government under Governor Bala Mohammed, stated his resignation was based on personal reasons in a letter addressed to the NDC chairman in Bauchi Local Government Area.

He emphasized that the party would consult its legal team to understand the implications of the resignation and assured that the NDC would continue its electoral ambitions, highlighting the presence of a running mate, Tata Alhaji, as a sign of their ongoing participation.
Misau reiterated that individuals have the right to make personal choices in politics, and the party remains focused on the upcoming election.
