The G100, a group of opposition political parties pushing for the opposition to field one presidential candidate in the 2027 presidential contest, has announced plans for the coalition to be expanded to accommodate more political parties.
The G100 coalition currently includes the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement issued by Salihu Lukman on behalf of the G100, the group noted that the expansion follows interest expressed by other “forward-thinking” opposition parties seeking to join the alliance aimed at unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
The statement further indicated that the coalition’s Central Leadership Committee has reviewed resolutions from its August 31 summit to translate them into an action plan, agreeing on operational principles to guarantee equal opportunity and mutual respect among member parties—including rotating meeting chairs in alphabetical order.
According to the statement, “the Central Leadership agreed to operational principles that would guarantee equal opportunity and mutual respect among coalescing parties, which include resolving that the responsibility of chairing meetings shall rotate among the parties in alphabetical order, because a coalition founded upon equality must demonstrate equality in its own conduct.
“All parties agreed to submit names of their nominees to the Secretariat by the close of work on Friday, September 18, 2026, and all the Committees and Working Groups should commence work in the week of September 21 – 27, 2026.
Backstory…
The G100’s argument gained renewed attention in August when it worked with the House of Representatives Minority Caucus to push opposition parties toward a common platform and eventually a consensus presidential candidate.
The group stressed, however, that its initial proposal was not for parties to immediately dissolve or for candidates to withdraw, but for them to agree on a framework through which their interests could be negotiated.
The expansion means the G100 initiative has moved beyond simply calling for opposition unity and is now trying to build a broader organisational structure ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
