A faction of Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Nyesom Wike says it has successfully uploaded its candidate lists to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Candidate Nomination Portal ahead of the 2027 general election. In a statement issued on Sunday, the faction’s National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, confirms that the names of the party’s presidential candidate, running mate, and National Assembly candidates have been uploaded to the portal. Premium Times reports the update comes days after Wike publicly said the PDP has no chance of winning the 2027 presidential election unless it rebuilds its internal structures and resolves ongoing crises. The two reports focus on the same action—submission of the faction’s candidates through INEC’s portal—and do not provide additional details on the specific individuals listed or whether the submission has been accepted by INEC. Both sources present the upload as part of the party’s preparations for the 2027 electoral process.
