G-100 Coalition Advances Talks for 2027 Election Unity
On September 6, 2023, the G-100 political group convened a summit aimed at uniting opposition parties to present a common presidential candidate against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election. Following this, the Movement for Credible Elections (MCE) announced the initiation of a political commission chaired by Prof Patrick Utomi, established in July to facilitate discussions among opposition parties.
The commission is tasked with consulting presidential candidates and evaluating their profiles, ideologies, and electoral programs to endorse a suitable candidate for the opposition coalition. Comrade James Ezema, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Nigeria Conference of Political Parties, stated that the MCE will shortlist seven opposition parties and candidates for final engagements.
A press conference is scheduled for this week to announce the shortlisted candidates and unveil the commission's work plan and sub-committees.
