PDP Affirms Presidential Ticket Open to All Aspirants

The PDP clarified its stance on zoning, stating that its presidential ticket for 2027 is open to all aspirants regardless of region. The party's national legal adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, emphasized that zoning should not prevent any competent leader from contesting.

This declaration aligns with the party's commitment to equity and the constitutional right of citizens to seek elective office. The move comes after Gbenga Hashim's Solidarity Movement advocated against weaponizing zoning to exclude competent leaders, particularly from the North.

The PDP's decision signifies a step towards fairness and inclusivity in the party's presidential ticket selection process.
