The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially concluded the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for its 2027 presidential ticket. Peter Obi, who was the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has emerged as the only aspirant to purchase the forms.
Obi's Sole Candidacy
According to party insiders, Obi was the sole applicant before the deadline for presidential form collection, which closed on Sunday, May 17, 2026. This development places him in a strong position ahead of the party's selection process, as no other candidate stepped forward to contest for the ticket.
Political Journey
Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, recently joined the NDC after leaving the African Democratic Congress. His move to the NDC marks a significant shift in his political career, as he continues to pursue his presidential ambitions for the 2027 elections.
The NDC's decision to have Obi as the sole aspirant signals a unified front within the party, potentially strengthening their campaign strategy for the upcoming election cycle.
