Will Jonathan contest in 2027 election?
Speculation has intensified across Nigeria as former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan continues to feature prominently in opposition consultations ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Though Jonathan has not publicly declared his intention to run, recent developments have fuelled widespread rumours of a possible comeback.
In September 2025, Jonathan reportedly met with Senator David Mark, National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), following the party’s first National Caucus meeting in Abuja.
The closed-door engagement, which allegedly included other key opposition figures, has been interpreted by analysts as a strategic move towards building a coalition strong enough to challenge the incumbent president, Bola Tinubu.
Who is Goodluck Jonathan?
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a Nigerian politician who served as President of Nigeria from 2010 to 2015. A member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), he previously held office as Vice President and Governor of Bayelsa State.
