A faction of the Accord Party has elected Prof. Christopher Imumolen as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, giving the former presidential contender another opportunity to test his appeal on the national stage as political parties begin positioning for the next electoral cycle.
The move gives the faction a presidential flag-bearer as smaller parties seek to expand their relevance ahead of what is expected to be a fiercely contested 2027 election.
The development was announced in a statement signed by the faction’s National Secretary, Mallam Muktar Abdullah, following the party’s Special National Convention in Lagos.
