The National Democratic Coalition has zoned its presidential ticket for the 2027 general election to the Southern region of Nigeria.
The decision was reached at the party’s ongoing National Convention in Abuja on Saturday.
According to details from the convention, the motion was moved by the party’s leader at the National Assembly and subsequently adopted by delegates during proceedings.
The resolution also stated that the party’s presidential ticket would be zoned to the North for the 2031 presidential election after the completion of the Southern slot in 2027.
The development is expected to shape the party’s internal political calculations ahead of the next general election, as aspirants from the Southern region may now begin consultations and mobilization for the party’s presidential primary.
