The Kwara State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially presented Certificates of Return and statutory Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination forms to its candidates for the 2027 general elections.
The presentation took place on Friday at the party’s state secretariat in Ilorin, where the party handed over the documents to its 24 House of Assembly candidates who emerged victorious in the recently concluded party primaries across the state.
In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Olusegun Adewara, the PDP described the exercise as the final stage in the completion of its primary election process ahead of the general elections.
The party noted that the presentation followed an earlier ceremony at its National Secretariat in Abuja, where its governorship candidate, Bolakale Kawu, alongside the party’s three senatorial candidates and six House of Representatives candidates, received their Certificates of Return as well as INEC Forms EC9 and EC13A.
