PDP Names Kale Kawu as Consensus Guber Candidate in Kwara
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has chosen Kale Kawu as its consensus gubernatorial candidate for the forthcoming elections in Kwara State. This decision was announced by Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the former Senate President, after extensive consultations with party leaders and stakeholders.
Saraki emphasized the importance of unity within the party, urging members to support Kawu, who has received backing from other aspirants who agreed to step down for the consensus arrangement. This move is seen as a strategic effort to prevent internal divisions and strengthen the party's position ahead of the 2027 elections.
The PDP aims to avoid a bruising primary contest that could reopen old fractures within its ranks, especially following its defeat in 2019. The announcement comes as the All Progressives Congress (APC) concludes its own controversial gubernatorial primary process, with Salihu Yakubu Danladi emerging as its candidate.
The political landscape in Kwara is expected to intensify as the campaigns progress.
