The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the south.
The resolution was reached at the party’s 102nd national executive committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on Monday.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, Debo Ologunagba, PDP national publicity secretary, said the decision followed the submission of a report by the zoning committee chaired by Douye Diri, governor of Bayelsa.
Ologunagba added that the NEC also resolved to retain the existing national Working committee (NWC) zoning arrangement ahead of the November 15–16 elective convention in Ibadan.
“NEC recommended that the North and South should retain their current NWC positions,” he said.
“NEC also resolved that since the national chairman of the party is zoned to the North, the PDP 2027 presidential ticket is hereby zoned to the south.”
