A breakdown of votes received by the aspirants in the primary election showed that Atiku polled more votes from delegates than any other aspirant in the contest.

Atiku, who served as the Vice President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007 during the presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo, was the candidate of the PDP in the 2019 presidential election.

He however, lost the presidential election of 2019 to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.

Earlier he contested the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2015 presidential election but lost to Buhari.

Winning the PDP ticket for the 2023 presidential election would be Atiku’s 6th attempt to become the president of Nigeria.
