The Peoples Democratic Party has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, following the adoption of recommendations presented by its Zoning Committee led by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.
The decision was reached during the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee meeting held in Abuja on Monday.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, explained that the NEC also endorsed the retention of the existing zoning arrangement for positions within the National Working Committee ahead of the party’s elective convention scheduled for November.
“Since the office of the National Chairman is currently zoned to the North, the 2027 presidential ticket has been zoned to the South,” Ologunagba said.
He added that the NEC expressed satisfaction with ongoing preparations for the convention, stressing that the zoning decision was aimed at ensuring balance and inclusivity within the party’s structure.
