PDP Clarifies Jonathan's Status for 2027 Presidential Race

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to rumors about former President Goodluck Jonathan purchasing a nomination form for the 2027 presidential election. Moham Haruna Jungudo, a member of the PDP's interim national working committee, dismissed suggestions that Jonathan had acquired the form, asserting that he has not done so.

Jungudo's comments came amid ongoing tensions between factions within the PDP regarding the nomination process. Meanwhile, Ini Ememobong, the PDP's national publicity secretary, stated that while Jonathan has not purchased a form, he is free to join the race if he chooses.

Speculation about Jonathan's potential candidacy has intensified following recent calls from Nigerian youth for him to contest in the upcoming election. The PDP continues to navigate internal dynamics as it prepares for the 2027 presidential race.
