A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the submission of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s name as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, despite an ongoing leadership dispute within the opposition party.
The Interim National Working Committee (INWC) of the PDP, led by Mr Kabiru Turaki SAN, said it had manually submitted Jonathan’s name alongside those of governorship, National Assembly and State Assembly candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in compliance with the Electoral Act 2026.
