2027: PRP Endorses Donald Duke as Presidential Candidate

The Peoples Redemption Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has officially cleared former Cross River State governor Donald Duke as the party’s candidate for the 2027 general elections.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Duke’s clearance followed the Primaries Appeal Committee’s review of the recent primary elections. The NWC approved the committee’s findings.

In a statement released Saturday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, said the NWC also ratified the results of the governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly primaries.

Ishaq noted that all declared candidates were approved to run in the 2027 elections, except for the Tarauni Federal Constituency in Kano, where the primary was cancelled.

The party plans to field 420 candidates across all positions in the 2027 elections.

“In line with our dedication to active participation in the electoral process, the PRP is proud to have 420 candidates running for all the positions in the 2027 general elections,” Ishaq said.

He reiterated the PRP’s commitment to internal democracy, service, and the delivery of credible and transformative leadership for the country.
