Williams said the development marks another step in his bid to represent the people of Kogi West in the 10th Senate.
He described the screening as fair and expressed confidence that delegates would choose a candidate with the capacity to deliver effective representation and attract development to the district.
“Kogi West deserves a senator who understands the challenges of the people and has the network to bring federal presence to the district. I am ready to offer that leadership,” he stated.

The seat is expected to be keenly contested in 2027, with both the PDP and APC working to field strong candidates.

Party officials noted that the primary election will be conducted in line with the party’s guidelines to ensure transparency.
Williams, a former governorship candidate, said he would run an issue-based campaign focused on youth empowerment, infrastructure, security, and agriculture if he emerges as the PDP flag bearer.
