The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has officially approved former Cross River State governor Donald Duke as its presidential flagbearer for the 2027 general elections. This decision was made by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) following a thorough review of the primary elections report submitted by the Primaries Appeal Committee.
According to a statement released on Saturday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, the NWC also ratified the results of primaries for governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and State House of Assembly positions. Ishaq confirmed that all candidates whose names were forwarded have been cleared to contest, with the exception of the Tarauni Federal Constituency in Kano State, where the primary election was annulled.
He further disclosed that the PRP intends to field approximately 420 candidates across various positions in the upcoming 2027 polls. Ishaq emphasized, “In line with our dedication to being actively involved in the election process, the PRP is proud to have 420 candidates running for all the positions in the 2027 general elections.”
The party reiterated its commitment to internal democracy, selfless service, and the delivery of credible, transformative leadership for Nigeria.
