The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has presented Certificates of Return to its certified candidates for the 2027 general elections, charging them to unite the party and begin grassroots mobilisation ahead of the polls.
The certificates were presented on Monday at the party’s secretariat along Yakubu Gowon Way, Jos, in a ceremony attended by party leaders and stakeholders.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Choji Felix Dalyop, the party congratulated all its certified candidates, describing the presentation as a major milestone in its democratic process.
The PDP said the Certificates of Return symbolise the confidence reposed in the candidates by party members and serve as their official mandate to fly the party’s flag in the 2027 elections.
It stated that the party remained committed to unity, grassroots engagement and democratic principles as it prepares for the elections.
According to the statement, the party would continue to foster a united front, consult widely across all local government areas and constituencies, and uphold justice, fairness and the rule of law.
The party named Hon. Sunday Garba Biggs as its governorship candidate, while Chief Austin Pam Dalyop emerged as the deputy governorship candidate.
For the Senate, the party presented Certificates of Return to Hon. Kumzhi Godwin Nanmwa for Plateau South, Hon. Wuyep Musa Labar for Plateau Central and Hon. Davou Bogom Baget for Plateau North.
The PDP also unveiled its candidates for the House of Representatives and the Plateau State House of Assembly across the state’s federal and state constituencies.
The party commended its Interim National Working Committee (INWC), led by Dr. Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, alongside state stakeholders and supporters, for their resilience and commitment throughout the primary election process.
The statement urged the candidates to return to their constituencies with confidence, engage the electorate and work towards securing victory for the party in the 2027 general elections.
“The journey to absolute victory begins now. Go out into your respective constituencies with confidence, engage our people with a clear vision, and let us collectively secure the future of Plateau State,” the statement said.
