The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially chosen Engineer Kale Kawu as its candidate for the 2027 gubernatorial election.
According to reports from DAILY POST, this decision precedes the party’s scheduled primary election on Sunday, which is expected to formalize the consensus reached among stakeholders.
The announcement, made on Saturday by former Governor Bukola Saraki, comes shortly after the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Engineer Yakubu Danladi Salihu, secured the APC ticket for the same race.
Dr. Saraki stated, “Following extensive consultations with Kwara PDP stakeholders and our leading gubernatorial aspirants, we have unanimously agreed on a consensus candidate to represent our party in the upcoming gubernatorial election.”
The former Senate President also expressed gratitude to other aspirants who selflessly stepped down for the unity and progress of the party. “This spirit of unity and sacrifice will lead us to victory,” he added.
Dr. Saraki further wished all party members, delegates, and supporters a successful, peaceful, and orderly conduct during the governorship primaries.
