Sahara Reporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, has said he will contest in the 2027 presidential election under the umbrella of the African Action Congress (AAC).
Sowore stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
He confirmed he remains in the race, stating that his party will hold its primaries next week.
When asked whether he would be the sole candidate, the activist deferred the decision to the party.
“Well, let the party decide who their candidates are,” he said.
Addressing the ongoing digital membership registration exercise directed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, Sowore said the AAC has not yet submitted its final register.
He referenced a recent court judgment that permits political parties to reopen their registration portals.
“We haven’t finally submitted, and that’s what this court judgment says. So if you have submitted now, the court says you can reopen your portal and start again,” he explained. “But we never stopped anyway.”
