PDP Strategizes to Regain Kwara Power Ahead of 2027

The People's Democratic Party (PDP), under the leadership of former Senate President Bukola Saraki, is making efforts to reclaim political power in Kwara State ahead of the 2027 elections. A consensus meeting was convened in Abuja, attended by key governorship aspirants including Ali Ahmad, Kale Kawu, Bolaji Gambari, Ladi Hassan, and Olaseni Ibiwoy.

The meeting aimed to avoid internal crises and present a united front against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The PDP is responding to public frustration over insecurity and economic challenges, which have led to significant losses in previous elections.

The party seeks to capitalize on the current vulnerabilities of the APC, particularly under Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. The consensus process is crucial for the PDP to reconnect with younger voters and avoid past mistakes that led to electoral defeats.

The outcome of this meeting and the selection of a popular candidate will be pivotal for the party's strategy moving forward.
