PDP NEC Outlines Agenda for Next National Chairman Ahead of 2027 Elections

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) National Executive Committee (NEC) outlined expectations for the next national chairman at its upcoming national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, emphasizing the need for inclusive leadership and internal reconciliation. The party aims to renew its commitment to unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The NEC's decisions include zoning the 2027 presidential ticket to the south and reserving the national chairmanship position for the north. However, there are reported challenges within the party regarding the selection process for the chairmanship position, with dissenting voices emerging.

Former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom has received backing from FCT ministers. The party seeks to strengthen its structure and attract members who have left.
