Media Entrepreneur and former Majority leader of Imo state House of Assembly, Uche Ogbuagu has emerged as the flag bearer of the party for the Mbaitoli/ Ikeduru federal constituency of Imo state for the 2027 National Assembly polls .

Ogbuagu in 2023 had contested the Mbaitoli/ Ikeduru federal constituency seat under the Labour party but lost to the incumbent Hon Akarachi Amadi of the All Progressives Congress.

Others who emerged from the House of Representatives primaries of the party held across the 10 federal constituencies in the state are: Chief Samuel Onye – Okigwe North Federal constituency, Mr Ikenna Emeruem – Okigwe South federal constituency;

Chief Joseph Chukwuma Ikunna – Ohaji/ Egbema/ Oguta/ Oru west federal constituency.

Amby Emeh Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency. Chief Owuzuruike Banabas Chijioke, Orlu/Orsu/Oru East Federal Constituency.

Hon. Arthur Ugochukwu, Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency.

The list also includes three women, Iheme Ndidi Olachi Ulumma, Nwadike Peace Adanna, and Princess Oleka-Chinedu, seeking to represent Owerri Federal Constituency, Nkwere/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency, and Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency respectively.

The state Publicity Secretary of Imo PDP, Hon. Lancelot Obiaku said the emergence of three women as Flag-bearers of the Party is an eloquent demonstration of the Party’s commitment to the constitutional 35 percent affirmative action policy, he said.
