The Plateau State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday formally ratified Sunday Garba Biggs as its consensus candidate for the 2027 governorship election, following what party officials described as a transparent, statewide consultative process.
The affirmation took place at a well‑attended party gathering in Jos, where elders, stakeholders, youth groups, women leaders, and delegates from all 17 local government areas endorsed Biggs as the party’s flagbearer. The event also featured the symbolic handover of the PDP flag to the candidate, marking the official start of his journey toward the 2027 polls.
Biggs, a former senior government official and previous governorship aspirant, delivered an acceptance speech in which he expressed gratitude, humility, and what he called “a renewed determination to serve Plateau State.”
