NDC’s Southern Zoning Sparks Hopes for Peter Obi’s 2027 Bid

Buba Galadima revealed on a national TV programme that the NDC has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the southern region. This decision is expected to enhance former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi’s prospects within the party. He also confirmed that the NDC will submit its membership register to INEC on May 5 or 6, completing a key procedural step in its election preparations. “Once we do that, we are good to go,” Galadima said. On zoning and candidate selection, Galadima was clear: the ticket is reserved for the South, and the party will hold primaries rather than pick a consensus candidate. This move aims to ensure transparency and broad participation. With Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso recently joining the NDC amid internal ADC disputes, the southern zoning may unify the region’s support and position the party for a highly competitive 2027 presidential race.
