PDP Continues to Crumble Ahead of 2027 as Serving Reps Members Defect to APC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing increasing internal instability ahead of the 2027 general elections, as serving members of the House of Representatives continue to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In the latest development, Hon. Jallo Hussaini Mohammed, the Representative for Igabi Federal Constituency in Kaduna State, officially joined the APC, signaling a significant loss for the PDP in the North.

Hon. Mohammed’s defection has sent shockwaves through political circles, as he had been seen as a key player in the PDP’s efforts to maintain a foothold in the northern region.

Joining him in this move is Hon. Adamu Tanko, who represents the Gurara/Suleja/Tafa Federal Constituency of Niger State. Hon. Tanko’s switch from PDP to APC further compounds the challenges facing the opposition party, as it loses another influential lawmaker ahead of the upcoming elections.

The defections are being viewed as part of a larger trend of growing discontent within the PDP, as internal divisions and leadership struggles continue to erode the party’s base. With the 2027 elections approaching, analysts are warning that the PDP’s ability to present a united front is becoming increasingly uncertain.

The APC, on the other hand, appears to be gaining momentum as it consolidates its hold on key constituencies, with these defections boosting the party’s chances as the political landscape shifts ahead of the next general election.

As the PDP continues to face these defections, the future of the opposition party remains in jeopardy, with many questioning its ability to mount a serious challenge to the APC in 2027.
