The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has named former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, announcing the decision on Tuesday.
The party’s National Chairman, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, made the announcement at the PRP national secretariat in Abuja.
He said Duke secured the presidential ticket after scoring the highest votes at the primary election.
Baba-Ahmed stated that Duke swept the polls with 6,499 votes, with his closest rival, Kingsley Yakubu, who mounted a nationwide campaign focusing on youth inclusion and economic reform, scoring 2,699 votes.
He said that Dr. Nnaoke Ufere, an academic and policy expert, got third place with 784 votes.
While declaring the official results, he said that the exercise was free, credible, and devoid of any form of bias.
He, however, said that any contestant who felt aggrieved with the electoral process should seek redress before the party’s Appeal Committee.
