NDC Votes to Zone 2027 Presidency to the South, 2031 to the North

The Nigeria Democratic Congress approved a motion at its national convention to allocate the next presidential ticket to a Southern candidate for a single four-year term. The proposal was moved by Afam Victor Ogene, the member representing Ogbaru Constituency in the 10th National Assembly, and adopted by party delegates. Under the agreement, the 2027 presidential candidate will come from the South, with the ticket automatically returning to the North for the 2031 election. This decision paves the way for Peter Obi and other Southern aspirants to obtain party nomination forms.
