 SDP Rejects Rainbow Coalition, Targets 2027 Election Victory 


The Social Democratic Party, SDP, says it has rejected calls for a proposed rainbow coalition, declaring its commitment to fielding candidates and contesting the 2027 general elections independently while collaborating with other opposition parties to protect the country's democracy.

National Chairman of the party, Professor Sadiq Umar Abubakar Gombe, stated this in Abuja during an engagement with the party's governorship candidates and the National Working Committee across the 36 states of the Federation.


Gombe said the meeting was aimed at strengthening the party's preparations for the 2027 elections through strategic discussions, experience-sharing and coordination among candidates to improve its chances of victory at both state and national levels.


He maintained that the SDP was not part of any arrangement under the proposed rainbow coalition.

He  alleges that such efforts will only  weaken opposition parties and their structures.
