INEC Confirms Shehu Buba Umar as PRP Candidate in Bauchi
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed Senator Shehu Buba Umar as the governorship candidate for the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) in Bauchi State for the 2027 election. This confirmation comes after a legal challenge from PRP aspirant Safiyanu Gambo, who contested Buba's candidacy shortly after his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PRP.
The publication of Buba's name by INEC, along with details of his running mate and other candidates for the State House of Assembly, aligns with Section 29(3) of the 2026 Electoral Act. Buba expressed relief over the decision, stating it alleviates uncertainty regarding the legitimacy of the PRP's candidates.
He urged party members to unite and focus on issues affecting Bauchi State, emphasizing that the PRP would conduct issue-based campaigns and prioritize the welfare of the people if elected.
