2027: Peter Obi emerges as NDC’s presidential aspirant
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has concluded the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for its 2027 presidential ticket, with 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, emerging as the only aspirant to purchase the forms.
Party insiders disclosed that Obi was the sole applicant before the deadline for presidential form collection closed on Sunday, May 17, 2026, effectively placing him in a strong position ahead of the party’s selection process.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, recently joined the NDC after leaving the African Democratic Congress.
