The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has explained why it could not replace its former presidential candidate, Mrs. Anita Zugwai Chukwu, with another woman after she withdrew from the 2027 presidential race. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Egbeola Wale Martins, the party said Chukwu stepped down due to family concerns over security and the demands of campaigning. The party said it explored all options to find a suitably qualified female aspirant but was unsuccessful, leading to the selection of Dr. Peter Agada at a special primary held on Friday, August 21.
