Presidential candidate of the NDC, Peter Obi, has officially named former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as his Vice Presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
The announcement confirms a major political realignment ahead of the polls, positioning both figures as the party’s presidential and vice presidential ticket for the upcoming election.
With the confirmation, Obi and Kwankwaso are expected to jointly lead the ADC’s campaign into the 2027 race, bringing together two influential political blocs with strong national support bases.
The development marks one of the most significant opposition alliances ahead of the election cycle, reshaping early expectations for the 2027 presidential contest.
KAKAKI OKEOGUN NEWS reports that NDC ratified Obi, former governor of Anambra state, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
The party took the decision at its national convention held in Abuja on Saturday.
At the event, Victor Umeh, the senator representing Anambra central, moved the motion for Obi’s ratification, while Ovie Omo-Agege, former deputy senate president, seconded it, drawing loud cheers from the jubilant crowd.
Obi picked NDC presidential nomination and expression of interest forms on May 17.
Three days later, he was cleared by the NDC national screening committee as the party’s sole presidential aspirant ahead the primaries.
