The Peoples Democratic Party in Plateau State has screened 134 aspirants ahead of its 2027 primaries. Screening committee chairman Tyem Gideon Nanden confirmed that three senatorial hopefuls cleared the process and will contest next Wednesday.

The exercise also covered 131 candidates for the 24 Plateau State Assembly seats. Meanwhile, five governorship aspirants are being screened in Abuja: Kefas Wungak, Ropshik Sarpya, Danielo Sunday Biggs, Alfred Dapal and Alex Ladam. Nanden dismissed rumours of divisions, insisting the party remains united under its leadership.
