Labour Party (LP) has announced that its presidential ticket for the 2027 general election has been zoned to the southern region of Nigeria.
Nenadi Usman, the party’s national chairperson, made this known on Tuesday in Abuja, stating that the decision had already been finalised 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 want to contest elections, we certainly will not accept that.”
The announcement signals the party’s strategic direction ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
