Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has officially emerged as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Kogi Central Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Her Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mike Idoko, announced this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja. According to Idoko, party members and supporters took part in an affirmation exercise held simultaneously across all 57 wards of the senatorial district.

The results were later collated at Kahal Cinema in Okene, where party leaders, stakeholders, and supporters gathered to conclude the process.

Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and members of the media monitored the exercise to ensure due process and transparency.

Speaking after the collation, Natasha expressed gratitude to party members and supporters for what she called an overwhelming show of confidence and unity.

“This affirmation is a reflection of the trust and confidence the people of Kogi Central have continued to place in our collective vision for progress, inclusion, and development,” she said.

The lawmaker noted that the massive turnout across the district demonstrated the party members’ commitment to strengthening democratic participation.

“I am deeply humbled by the massive turnout across all 57 wards. This is not just about one individual; it is about our people coming together in unity to deepen democracy and build a stronger and more prosperous Kogi Central,” she stated.

Natasha also reassured supporters of her dedication to representing the district’s interests and maintaining close engagement with communities across the senatorial zone.

“I accept this responsibility with gratitude and renewed commitment. By the grace of God and with the continued support of our people, we will remain focused on delivering sustainable development, justice, and opportunities for everyone,” she added.
