The New Nigeria People’s Party on Saturday ruled out fielding a presidential candidate for now ahead of the 2027 general election, saying it would rather explore alliances with other political parties if a credible and widely acceptable candidate emerges.
The party also dismissed speculations of a secret pact with the African Democratic Congress, insisting it had not entered into any agreement with any political party despite growing discussions around opposition coalitions.
NNPP National Chairman, Bala Yusuf, disclosed this at the party’s 11th National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja, where delegates ratified the outcomes of recent primaries in line with the Electoral Act 2026.
