APC Names Major Jack as Chinda's Running Mate for 2027
Major Jack, the Majority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has been named the deputy governorship candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections. The announcement was confirmed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Ikenga Chibike, to DAILY POST on Tuesday.
Jack will serve as the running mate to Kingsley Ogundu Chinda, who secured the APC governorship candidacy following the primary election held in May 2026. The selection of Jack is intended to promote geographical balance on the ticket and bolster the party's grassroots support, particularly in the riverine areas of Rivers State.
Major Jack previously defected to the APC in December 2025, along with the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, and several other lawmakers.
