PDP Welcomes INEC's Candidate Publication for 2027 Elections

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) publication of the party's presidential and National Assembly candidates for the 2027 general elections. This announcement, made in a statement from Abuja on Sunday, is seen by the PDP as a resolution to ongoing misinformation suggesting the party would not field a presidential candidate.

The PDP's candidates are Senator Professor Sandy Ojang Onor for president and Alhaji Babangida Umar as his running mate. The statement, signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Hon.

Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, commended loyal party members for their resilience against false claims. The PDP also expressed appreciation to INEC, the Judiciary, and security agencies for their commitment to the rule of law.

The party reiterated its commitment to reconciliation and unity, welcoming returning members and new defectors, and emphasized its goal of being a credible alternative for Nigerians under the leadership of Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed Takushara and Senator Samuel N.

Anyanwu.
