The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South.

The decision was reached on Monday during the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.

Briefing journalists after the meeting, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, explained that the resolution followed the presentation of a report by the Zoning Committee, chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.

According to him, the NEC also expressed satisfaction with preparations for the party’s elective convention scheduled for November, while maintaining the existing National Working Committee (NWC) zoning arrangement.

“NEC recommended that the North and South should retain their current NWC positions,” Ologunagba said.

He further disclosed: “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.”
