PDP Declares 2027 Presidential Ticket Open to Southern Candidates, Court Rules in Favor of Party Faction

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the opening of its 2027 presidential ticket to southern candidates, potentially including former President Goodluck Jonathan. The decision was made during a high-profile meeting in Abuja led by PDP officials, including Tanimu Turaki and Namadi Sambo.

The move aims to ensure a fair and transparent primary process. Additionally, a recent court ruling in Abuja dismissed a suit against the faction led by Samuel Anyanwu, strengthening the position of the Turaki-led leadership within the party.
