A special convention held in Abuja by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Taminu Kabiru Turaki, SAN, resulted in the symbolic ratification of former President Goodluck Jonathan as the party's presidential candidate for the upcoming 2027 general election. This development marks a significant escalation in the internal crisis within the PDP, as factions vie for control and influence ahead of the election. The decision reflects the faction's strategic move to unify support around Jonathan, who previously served as Nigeria's president from 2010 to 2015. The ratification is expected to have implications for the party's dynamics as it prepares for the electoral contest.
