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

9NEWS NIGERIA reports that the decision was reached on Monday during the party’s 102nd National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja.

The resolution followed the adoption of the report of the Zoning Committee chaired by Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri.

Briefing reporters after the meeting, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the NEC also endorsed the retention of the current zoning arrangement of the National Working Committee (NWC) ahead of the party’s elective convention in November.

According to him, NEC expressed satisfaction with the level of preparations for the convention, adding that the decision on zoning was in line with the party’s established principles of power rotation.

“Since the position of National Chairman is zoned to the North, the 2027 presidential ticket is hereby zoned to the South,” Ologunagba announced.
