PDP Zoning Panel Backs Southeast for 2027 Presidential Ticket, Names Udenwa and Nnamani

In a major development, the Peoples Democratic Party’s zoning committee is reportedly backing the Southeast region for its 2027 presidential ticket. Insiders say this move aims to rebalance power and strengthen national unity. Former Imo State governor Achike Udenwa and ex-Senate President Ken Nnamani have emerged as leading figures in the consultations. Udenwa, who governed from 1999 to 2007, may be considered as a consensus candidate or key power broker, while Nnamani is praised for his leadership during his Senate presidency. Party insiders reveal high-level meetings are ongoing to build consensus across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones. They argue the Southeast deserves its turn at the presidency after years of perceived marginalization. As deliberations continue, all eyes are on the PDP’s National Executive Committee for a final decision in the coming months.
