Chief Dan Ulasi, a high‑ranking member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), shared his perspective on the party’s prospects for the 2027 presidential election during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show. He emphasized that the ultimate outcome rests on divine will, noting that while the PDP is actively reorganizing, its survival and success hinge on forces beyond human control.
At the party’s most recent National Executive Committee meeting, at least seven PDP governors were present, a turnout Ulasi described as a positive sign of unity and commitment to repositioning the party. He highlighted that the PDP has zoned its presidential ticket to the southern region and argued that fairness would require a further micro‑zoning to the South East—a region that has yet to produce a president in the current democratic dispensation, making it a crucial consideration for the party.
Ulasi’s comments come as the PDP strives to strengthen its position ahead of the highly competitive 2027 general elections. The party’s efforts to reorganize and rebuild will be pivotal in determining its chances of success. With the presidential ticket already zoned to the south, the next steps—particularly the decision to micro‑zone the ticket to the South East—could have significant implications for the PDP’s candidacy and overall strategy.
As various parties vie for power in the upcoming elections, the PDP’s ability to present a strong candidate and navigate Nigeria’s complex regional dynamics will be critical. The party’s repositioning reflects a broader trend in Nigerian politics, where parties are re‑evaluating strategies and aligning themselves for success. Ultimately, the election outcome will depend on a combination of the PDP’s strategic choices, the appeal of its candidates, and the will of the voters.
