Labour Party Zones 2027 Presidential Ticket to South
The Labour Party (LP) has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to southern Nigeria.
Nenadi Usman, the party’s national chairperson, announced the decision on Tuesday in Abuja, saying it has already been settled within the party.
“We have one certain decision that we have taken, and that is that we will certainly not field any aspirant from northern Nigeria. We have zoned the position to southern Nigeria,” she said.
“So if any northerner comes now to contest, we certainly will not accept that.”
The zoning decision is part of the party’s internal strategy ahead of the 2027 elections, ensuring regional balance in its choice of presidential candidates.
More updates are expected as the party finalizes its candidate selection process.
