A political support organisation in Bauchi State has publicly announced that Dr. Bala Maijama’a Wunti will contest for the All Progressives Congress governorship ticket ahead of the 2027 election. The declaration followed consultations and mounting calls from different groups within the state urging him to run. According to the group’s leadership, Wunti’s aspiration is positioned as a response to grassroots demands and is aimed at improving governance outcomes and welfare programmes, particularly for vulnerable citizens and people with disabilities. The announcement signals early realignments within Bauchi APC politics and suggests that the 2027 governorship race is already gathering momentum with potential contenders emerging and mobilising support structures across local constituencies.
