JONATHAN REPORTEDLY OBTAINS 2027 PDP PRESIDENTIAL FORM, SAYS PARTY CHIEFTAIN

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reportedly obtained the presidential nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (People's Democratic Party) ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria, according to a party chieftain.

The claim was made by a senior member of the party, who said Jonathan had taken steps toward participating in the PDP presidential race, although official confirmation from the former president has not been issued.

The development has sparked fresh political discussions within the PDP, as the party continues early preparations and internal consultations ahead of the next election cycle.

Jonathan, who served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015, has in the past been the subject of repeated speculation regarding a possible return to active electoral politics.

However, neither Jonathan nor the PDP national leadership has publicly confirmed the purchase or submission of any presidential nomination form at the time of reporting.

Party insiders say consultations are ongoing as various stakeholders position themselves ahead of 2027, with potential contenders expected to emerge in the coming months.

The situation remains unclear as political activities gradually intensify across major parties in Nigeria.
