A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party in Katsina State has endorsed three aspirants for the 2027 senatorial elections, declaring its intent to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress. The announcements were made on Wednesday by State Chairman Nura AmadiKurfi.

The faction endorsed Hamisu GamboDanlawan, known as Danlawan, for the Katsina Central District, Aliyu AbdulmuminAbdullahi for the Daura zone, and Nura Khalil for the Funtua zone. AmadiKurfi, who leads a party executive backed by former governorship candidate Senator Yakubu LadoDanmarke, stated the PDP is united across the state's 34 local government areas. He expressed confidence the party would reclaim power in 2027 by addressing insecurity, poverty, unemployment, and poor access to social services.

The chairman highlighted persistent security challenges causing loss of life and displacement, pledging that a PDP government would prioritize restoring peace, reviving education and agriculture, and creating jobs. He urged supporters to mobilize at the grassroots level. Senator LadoDanmarke reinforced the message, stating the endorsed politicians have the capacity to deliver effective representation.
