The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has uploaded the details of its presidential candidate Peter Obi and running mate Senator Diri Dickson on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.
This followed the restoration of access to the portal by INEC after a technical glitch that had earlier prevented the party from completing its registration process. The NDC National Chairman, Prof. Chris Uche, confirmed the development on Wednesday, describing it as a victory for democracy and the rule of law.
The party expressed confidence that it would meet all requirements for participation in the 2027 general elections. INEC assured all political parties of fair and transparent processes as the electioneering season approaches.
The successful uploading of candidates marks a significant milestone for the NDC as it positions itself for the 2027 polls. The party’s leadership has expressed optimism that the restored portal access will enable a smooth nomination process. Political observers believe the NDC’s participation will add to the competitiveness of the upcoming elections.
The development comes at a time when political parties are intensifying preparations for the general elections. The NDC’s ability to overcome the technical hurdle is seen as a testament to its resilience and commitment to democratic participation. Stakeholders have commended INEC for restoring access and urged the commission to ensure a level playing field for all parties.
