File: Former President Goodluck Jonathan
A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party led by Tanimu Turaki on Saturday declared former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
The decision was taken at a special national convention held at the faction’s national secretariat in Area 10, Garki, Abuja.
Jonathan was not present at the event where his nomination was formally ratified, but his Certificate of Return was received on his behalf by Bayelsa lawmaker, Fred Agbedi.
The development was announced during the gathering attended by delegates and party stakeholders aligned with the Turaki-led group.
