Gombe guber: PDP to conduct fresh primary after court nullifies Pantami’s ticket
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported42m ago
A Federal High Court has nullified the nomination of Isa Ali Pantami, the former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gombe State for the 2027 election. Following the court's ruling, the PDP has been ordered to conduct a fresh primary election to select its candidate for the state's gubernatorial race.
The initial primary exercise that previously produced Pantami as the party's nominee is now void. The legal challenge and subsequent ruling have forced the political party to restart its candidate selection process in Gombe State ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle.
