The Kwara State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially presented Certificates of Return and INEC nomination forms to all its candidates for the 2027 General Elections, marking the successful conclusion of the party’s primary election processes and the commencement of a new phase in its campaign to rescue and resecure Kwara State in 2027.
In a statement issued in Ilorin on Friday by the State Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, the party disclosed that the latest presentation ceremony, held at the PDP State Secretariat, Ilorin, witnessed the formal presentation of Certificates of Return and relevant INEC nomination forms to the party’s 24 House of Assembly candidates who emerged victorious in the primary elections conducted across the state’s 24 constituencies.
The party noted that the event represents another important milestone in its preparations for the 2027 General Elections, as all its candidates have now been formally presented with their Certificates of Return and statutory nomination documents.
According to the statement, the presentation to the House of Assembly candidates followed an earlier ceremony held at the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, where the party’s Governorship Candidate, Engr. Suleiman Bolakale Kawu (Daniya Geri of Ilorin), alongside the three Senatorial candidates and six House of Representatives candidates, received their Certificates of Return and INEC Forms EC9 and EC13A.
The Abuja presentation was attended by the Kwara State PDP Chairman, Hon. Isa Bawa Adamu, members of the State Working Committee and other senior stakeholders of the party, who accompanied the governorship and National Assembly candidates to the national headquarters.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony in Ilorin, the State Chairman, Hon. Isa Bawa Adamu, congratulated the House of Assembly candidates on their emergence and urged them to see their victories as a collective mandate to serve the people with humility and dedication. He charged all candidates to remain united, disciplined and committed to strengthening the party’s structures across their constituencies while carrying every stakeholder along in the campaign process.
Hon. Isa Bawa further observed that the PDP in Kwara remains fortunate to enjoy experienced, visionary and politically astute leadership under Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON, whose commitment to internal democracy, consultation and consensus-building has continued to unite diverse interests within the party and position it strongly ahead of the 2027 elections.
The House of Assembly candidates, speaking on behalf of their colleagues, expressed appreciation to the leadership of the party for conducting transparent, credible and peaceful primary elections. They pledged to justify the confidence reposed in them by working closely with party leaders, members and supporters at all levels while engaging every critical stakeholder in their respective constituencies to ensure the PDP records overwhelming victories in the forthcoming general elections.
The Kwara PDP reaffirmed its confidence in all its candidates and called on members and supporters across the sixteen local government areas to remain steadfast, united and committed as the party intensifies consultations and grassroots mobilization towards delivering responsive, inclusive and people-oriented governance for the people of Kwara State in 2027.
