Abuja, Nigeria - September 13, 2026
Political parties in Nigeria have begun early mobilisation for the 2027 general elections scheduled for January. Key players from the SDP, APC, and PDP are already touring states to lock down support.
The race is expected to be competitive as parties focus on key battleground states. Kano, Jigawa, and Zamfara are already seeing intense political activity.
Analysts say early campaigns signal how critical 2027 will be for both the ruling party and opposition as Nigeria grapples with security and economic issues.
SDP Positions Adebayo, APC Mobilises for Tinubu
The Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential campaign council says its candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, will transform Nigeria in four years if elected. The party says it is focusing on grassroots engagement nationwide.
On the ruling side, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari Abubakar, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, has begun grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu in Zamfara State.
Kwankwaso Remains Key Factor in Kano
Kano politics is already heating up with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso in focus. Senator Umeh stated that “no matter the noise they make in Kano, nobody can beat Kwankwaso there once the election is...”
Kano has historically delivered one of the highest voter turnouts and remains crucial for any presidential candidate aiming to win in 2027.
PDP Unveils Jigawa Structure
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has also moved early. Alhaji Mustapha Sule Lamido, PDP governorship candidate in Jigawa for 2027, has unveiled his campaign council as the party seeks to reclaim key states.
With over a year to the elections, parties are expected to intensify structure building, rallies, and alliances ahead of official campaigns.
