The Nigeria Democratic Congress has zoned its presidential ticket for the 2027 general election to Southern Nigeria for a single four-year term.
The decision was reached during the party’s national convention after a motion moved by Afam Victor Ogene, the lawmaker representing Ogbaru Constituency in Anambra State, was adopted by delegates.
The party also resolved that after the completion of the four-year tenure, the presidential ticket would automatically return to Northern Nigeria.
The development has paved the way for former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and other southern aspirants to purchase the party’s presidential nomination forms ahead of the 2027 election.
The move comes amid ongoing political realignments and coalition talks among key political figures ahead of the next general election.
