Legal and faction notes
Party-level caveats
These notes describe the party's OWN registration standing and internal leadership disputes - distinct from any single candidate's party-affiliation status or candidacy status shown on the candidate cards below.
Faction status. A smaller rival SDP faction, led by Shehu Musa Gabam and operating its own website (sdpnigeria.org), is reported to have produced its own 2027 presidential candidate, Abimbola Akeem Atanda. Electioneering's SDP candidate record (Adewole Adebayo) reflects the mainstream Gombe-led faction's nomination, consistently corroborated by the most reputable outlets.
