About 2322 delegates are expected to be in attendance as the ruling party picks its flag bearer for the 2023 presidential election.

Officially, there are 23 aspirants jostling for the ticket but the party has advised 10 of them to withdraw.

There are indications that some more aspirants may step down before the day runs out. Highly level meetings are still ongoing even as Nigerians watch as the nail-biting drama unfolds.
