Single candidacy: Opposition leaders, parties in coalition talks

Opposition leaders and party secretaries from six parties have held consultations with their presidential candidates in anticipation of the 2027 general elections. The discussions, which involved the African Democratic Congress, Allied People’s Movement, Nigeria Democratic Congress, Social Democratic Party, Peoples Democratic Party, and Peoples Redemption Party, aim to explore a common strategy ahead of the election.

While no agreement on a single presidential candidate was announced, the consultations signal a continuing effort to establish common ground among opposition parties to defend multiparty democracy and protect the interests of Nigerians. The move comes amid ongoing efforts by opposition leaders to overcome political differences and develop a viable challenge to the ruling APC and President Bola Tinubu, who is seeking re-election in 2027.
