Philomena Jonathan Joe (INEC prints JONATHAN PHILOMENA JOE; party posts call her Philomena Jonathan, sometimes with the name Esubok) is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy governorship candidate in Akwa Ibom State, running mate to Brownson Ibanga Akpan, for the election of 6 February 2027 (INEC final list, 10 October 2026). INEC lists her as a 42-year-old woman whose declared qualifications are the First School Leaving Certificate, WAEC/NECO and a Higher National Diploma. A party supporter's post of 26 June 2026 named her as the PDP deputy governorship candidate and described her as the party's South-South zonal woman leader from Urue-Offong/Oruko Local Government Area. Punch reported that the PDP's South-South zonal congress of 22 February 2025 elected a woman leader named Esubok; the match rests on that surname and is medium confidence. No elected or appointed public office, earlier election or court case was found.
