Obi Cleared As NDC Sole Candidate

The Nigerian Democratic Congress screening committee has cleared former Anambra State governor Peter Obi as the party’s sole presidential aspirant ahead of the 2027 elections.

The decision places him as the only approved contender for the party’s top ticket as political preparations intensify nationwide.

Party officials said the clearance followed a screening exercise conducted to assess eligibility and compliance with internal rules guiding aspirants.

The process reportedly involved review of documents and political background checks in line with the party’s requirements.

The development comes as opposition parties continue to realign and build coalitions ahead of the next general election.

Obi’s emergence has already drawn attention from political observers who see it as a major move within the emerging political blocs.

Party leaders are expected to announce the next steps in the primary process, including possible confirmation of running mate arrangements and campaign structures as preparations for 2027 gather pace.
