The Peoples Democratic Party has expelled two aspirants who challenged Isa Pantami's candidacy for the Gombe governorship seat ahead of the 2027 elections. The party confirmed the decision came directly from its disciplinary committee's findings.
According to the PDP, the committee concluded that both aspirants were guilty of anti-party activities. That finding was enough to seal their fate within the party structure.
The expulsions clear the path for Pantami, the former minister turned governorship hopeful, as the party closes ranks around his candidacy. Whether the ousted aspirants accept the verdict or take their fight elsewhere is the question Gombe politics is watching closely right now.
