Middle Belt Coalition Demands Southern Presidency for 2027

The Middle Belt Coalition, led by Chairman Princ Pam Rwang, has asserted that a southern presidency for the upcoming 2027 elections is non-negotiable. This declaration was made during a press conference held on Tuesday in Plateau State, concluding a strategic conference organized by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The coalition aims to unify support for a southern presidential candidate, emphasizing that the Middle Belt will not seek to lead the elections but will strategically position itself to influence the political landscape. Rwang highlighted the importance of a rotational presidency between the North and South, which is deeply embedded in the political consciousness of voters.

The coalition aims to build alliances that ensure fair representation and inclusivity in the electoral process, warning that neglecting these principles could significantly diminish electoral support. The conference concluded with a unanimous resolution to prioritize coalition-building for the 2027 presidential elections.
