Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has been voted as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) flagbearer for the 2023 presidential election, Newsbreak reports.

The 75-year-old garnered 371 votes. His closest challenger, Wike, scored 237 votes. Saraki collected 70 votes.

Emmanuel (38), Mohammed (38), Anyim Pius Anyim (14), Mrs Tari Diana Oliver (1) and Sam Ohuabunwa (1) shared the remainder of the eligible votes.

Since his entry into politics in 1993, Atiku has unsuccessfully contested five times for the Office of President of Nigeria in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019.

In 1993, he contested the Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential primaries losing to Moshood Abiola and Baba Gana Kingibe. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress (AC) in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar’Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP.

He contested the presidential primaries of the PDP during the 2011 presidential election losing out to incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. In 2014, he joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2015 presidential election and contested the presidential primaries losing to Buhari.

In 2017, he returned to the PDP and was the party presidential candidate during the 2019 presidential election, again losing to incumbent President Buhari.
