The 2027 contest for the Nasarawa South Senatorial seat is already generating intense political heat and is fast emerging as a bigger battle than the long-debated zoning of the state’s governorship.
Serving and former political office holders from across the senatorial district have openly indicated their ambition to represent the zone at the Red Chamber of the National Assembly.
Their early moves have heightened political tension and set the stage for what promises to be a dramatic and highly competitive race.
Political observers note that the contest will likely attract seasoned politicians with deep-rooted structures and wide grassroots influence.
The emerging rivalry among these heavyweights is expected to redraw the political map of the senatorial district, as each contender will seek to consolidate support from their local government areas and beyond.
While consultations and behind-the-scenes negotiations are already ongoing, party stakeholders and power brokers are said to be weighing their options carefully ahead of the primaries.
The names of the key aspirants and their respective local government areas will be published in our subsequent edition.
