NDC zones 2027 ticket to South

The newly formed Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria for a single four-year term.

The move is widely seen as clearing a path for Peter Obi to secure the party's nomination, while the vice-presidential slot will be reserved for the North.

Analysts suggest this strategy aims to consolidate opposition support and challenge the ruling APC's dominance.

However, some critics have labeled the single-term zoning a 'gamble' that could lead to internal distrust and potential failure at the polls.
