The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has affirmed a former member of the National Assembly, Sandy Onor, as its consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
Chairman of the 2026 PDP Presidential Primary Election Committee, Samuel Ortom, announced the outcome of the party’s primary at the PDP national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.
Mr Ortom, a former governor of Benue State, said that Mr Onor, the party’s sole aspirant, emerged through a consensus arrangement.
“We have worked day and night with the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to ensure that we arrive at a consensus,” he said.
On his part, the PDP National Chairman, Abdullahi Mohammed, noted that the party had only one aspirant and expressed confidence that it would make a significant impact in the 2027 general election.
