Former Delta State Governor and 2023 vice-presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, has signaled his intention to return to the National Assembly by contesting for the Delta North Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
Okowa, who previously ran under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is now aligning with the All Progressives Congress (APC) as he prepares for a political comeback. His declaration marks a significant shift in Delta State’s political landscape, especially given his influence and experience at both state and national levels.
The Delta North senatorial seat is currently occupied by Ned Nwoko, setting the stage for what could become a high-profile contest ahead of the 2027 elections. Political analysts believe Okowa’s entry into the race may reshape alliances and intensify competition within the region.
Observers note that the former governor’s move could have broader implications for party dynamics in Delta State, particularly as the APC seeks to strengthen its foothold in the South-South region.
