The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially zoned its presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria for a single 4-year term ahead of the 2027 elections.
The motion was moved during the party’s National Convention by Afam Victor Ogene, the lawmaker representing Ogbaru Constituency in the 10th National Assembly, and was adopted by delegates.
The party also resolved that after the single four-year tenure, the presidential ticket would automatically return to Northern Nigeria.
The development is seen as a major boost for Peter Obi and other southern aspirants interested in contesting under the party’s platform ahead of the next general election.
