PDP Missing From INEC’s Final Kebbi Governorship Candidates List
The Peoples Democratic Party is absent from INEC’s final list of candidates for the January 16, 2027, Kebbi governorship election. The list contains 14 candidates, including Governor Nasir Idris of the APC and former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami of the ADC. The omission leaves the PDP without a listed candidate in the race and raises fresh questions about its strength as an opposition party in Kebbi. The circumstances behind the party’s absence from the final list remain unclear. The development follows internal disagreements and defections within the state chapter. Some PDP stakeholders, including the party’s 2023 governorship candidate, have publicly backed Governor Idris’s re-election bid, while the party leadership has maintained that it selected candidates for elective offices. Meanwhile, the ADC is presenting Malami as a major challenger to the APC after expanding its campaign structure across the state.
