Kogi Central 2027: Natasha secures PDP ticket, set to battle Yahaya Bello

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Kogi Central Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The development set up a highly anticipated 2027 electoral showdown against former Governor Yahaya Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Both heavyweights will battle for the Kogi Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.

The incumbent senator, Akpoti-Uduaghan, emerged through a district-wide affirmation exercise conducted across all 57 wards.

The process was concluded at Kahal Cinema, Okene, where party leaders, stakeholders and supporters gathered for the final collation of results.

Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and journalists monitored the exercise in the wards and at the collation centre to ensure compliance with due process.

Speaking after the collation, Akpoti-Uduaghan thanked party members for what she described as an overwhelming show of confidence and unity.
