The motion was reportedly moved by Afam Victor and seconded by Seyi Sowumi. According to the resolution adopted at the convention, the party also reserved its 2031 presidential slot for candidates from northern Nigeria as part of its long-term power rotation strategy.
The NDC presidential ticket zoning is expected to shape political calculations ahead of the 2027 elections, especially following the recent influx of prominent politicians into the party.
