Former Labour Party presidential candidate has reportedly been cleared to participate in the presidential primary election of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to reports, the party’s screening committee approved Obi’s candidacy after confirming that he met the necessary requirements to contest for the presidential ticket.
The development marks another major step in the growing political realignments and coalition activities ahead of the next election cycle in Nigeria.
Supporters of Obi welcomed the clearance, expressing optimism that his participation would strengthen the party’s chances in the presidential race.
Political observers say Obi’s involvement in the NDC primary could significantly influence opposition politics and reshape alliances among political actors preparing for the 2027 elections.
Analysts also believe the contest for the NDC ticket may attract strong competition from other prominent aspirants seeking to emerge as the party’s flag bearer.
The former Anambra State governor remains one of Nigeria’s most discussed political figures, especially among youths and opposition supporters.
The NDC has continued consultations and mobilisation efforts as it positions itself ahead of the upcoming elections.
Further details regarding the primary timetable and other aspirants are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
