Why Rabiu Kwankwaso Could Emerge as the NDC Presidential Flagbearer

The NDC’s primary timetable confirms two key points. First, there will be no consensus candidate. Second, the presidential ticket is not zoned. Rabiu Kwankwaso has declared his intention to run for president, not as a vice-presidential pick. Despite claims from staunch Obi supporters, he remains focused on winning the top ticket. Given the open contest, Kwankwaso’s national appeal and party groundwork make him a strong contender. Some believe Peter Obi would struggle in the Muslim-majority North if he ran as running mate. His past remarks could hurt a joint ticket. Meanwhile, observers predict Sam Giringori might withdraw days before the primaries and challenge the party in court.
