The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has raised concerns over the omission of some of its candidates from the final list of successful contestants released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 contest. Notable absentees include Ladi Adebutu, the Ogun State governorship candidate and Ali Pantami, the Gombe State governorship candidate.
The PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, assured that the party is actively engaging with INEC to address the issues responsible for the omissions, aiming for an amicable resolution in accordance with the law and electoral guidelines. However, former Senator Shehu Sani has advised affected candidates to stop pursuing legal action, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld INEC's authority to exclude candidates whose names are not listed in the party's membership register submitted at least 21 days prior to the primary.
