The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has confirmed Barr. Ayiwulu Baba Ayiwulu as the winner of its Nasarawa South Senatorial primary election and has issued him the party’s nomination form for the 2027 general elections.

The confirmation follows a review of pictorial and documentary evidence submitted by party officials after weeks of dispute over the primary results.

Party authorities said a thorough verification of election materials showed that Ayiwulu maintained his win.

“The decision brings clarity to the constituency contest,” the Directorate of Media and Publicity stated in a release signed by Achin Henry on behalf of the candidate.

Ayiwulu was issued the nomination form on June 11, 2026, after completing payment.

Ayiwulu had earlier announced his withdrawal from the NDC, citing concerns over the party’s viability.

He reversed course after the party leadership reviewed the primary process and declared him the authentic flag bearer for Nasarawa South Senatorial District.

Reacting to the development, Ayiwulu commended the party for “upholding truth and transparency” and called on members to unite for victory in 2027.

“I commend the party for its fairness, justice, and belief in due process. All hands must now be on deck to secure the victory that awaits the Nigeria Democratic Congress,” he said.

He also pledged to protect party votes and mobilize more members in the district.

Ayiwulu thanked the Nasarawa State Chairman, Hon. Dogo Shammah, and the national leadership for ensuring a smooth and credible review process.

With the nomination form now in his possession, Ayiwulu is set to proceed as the NDC candidate for the next phase of the electoral process ahead of the 2027 polls.
