Three major aspirants are expected to contest in the primary election. They include former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, Hamisu Mailantarki, and Usman Garry. The outcome of this election will determine who represents the PDP in the forthcoming Gombe governorship election.

This development comes amidst intense political activities leading up to the 2027 general elections. The rescheduled primary election in Gombe State is significant as it marks a crucial step towards deciding the party’s flagbearer.
