The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that the name of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been uploaded on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) candidate nomination portal.
The development was disclosed by the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, who described the upload as a significant step in the party’s preparations for the 2027 general elections.
According to the NDC leadership, the upload of Obi’s details on the portal demonstrates the party’s determination to proceed with its electoral activities despite recent legal and political controversies surrounding its registration status.
The announcement comes amid ongoing debates over the legal standing of the party following recent court proceedings that questioned aspects of its registration process. However, the NDC has consistently maintained that it remains a valid political platform and is committed to participating fully in the next general elections.
The party also reiterated its confidence in the electoral process and expressed optimism that all outstanding issues would be resolved in accordance with the law.
The latest development is expected to further shape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections, with political parties intensifying preparations and concluding processes for the submission of candidates’ particulars to INEC’s nomination portal.
