This was disclosed in an interview with journalists in Calabar on Wednesday by the party’s state secretary, Mr. Joe Bisong.
Bisong explained that a five-member screening committee led by Fred Osim assessed 33 aspirants for House of Assembly seats.
He added that the panel also screened three senatorial aspirants and nine contenders for the House of Representatives.
According to him, the perceived performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in government has created an opportunity for the PDP to perform better.
He maintained that the PDP remains the most reliable party for sustaining Nigeria’s democracy, adding that it has been tested and trusted over time.
“We have seen the performance of APC since 2015. Nigerians will decide who will govern them after the 2027 elections,” he said.
Bisong also expressed confidence that the party has enough support base to secure victories across different electoral levels.
