2027: PDP in Fresh Debate Over Jonathan, Obi, Makinde for Presidential Ticket

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing a new wave of internal debate as discussions intensify over who should carry the party’s presidential flag in the 2027 elections. With the ticket zoned to the South, names such as former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Anambra State governor Peter Obi, and Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde have emerged as possible contenders.

Party leaders are said to be holding consultations to balance regional interests, popularity, and political experience in selecting the most viable candidate. While none of the three figures have officially declared their intentions, reports suggest that different blocs within the PDP are quietly rallying support for their preferred aspirants.

Analysts believe the eventual outcome will depend on the party’s ability to manage internal rivalries and build consensus ahead of its convention. For now, PDP members and political observers alike are watching closely.
