The National Executive Committee, NEC, of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has ratified and endorsed the outcome of the party’s nationwide primary elections ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The decision was reached at the party’s second NEC meeting, attended by the NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, his running mate, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, members of the National Working Committee, state chairmen, party leaders, and stakeholders from across the country.
This was made known in a statement on Thursday by Senator Seriake Dickson.
Dickson said that the NEC reviewed the party’s progress, assessed the conduct of the recently concluded primaries, and outlined strategies for strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 polls.
He acknowledged that challenges and disagreements were recorded in some locations during the primaries but said the party remained committed to internal democracy, transparency, fairness, and inclusion.
The NEC, he said, resolved to intensify reconciliation, consultation, and stakeholder engagement efforts nationwide and urged all aspirants and party members to remain actively involved in building the party.
“After reviewing reports from across the federation, NEC ratified and endorsed the outcome of the nationwide primary elections and commended our electoral committees, screening and appeal panels, party officials, volunteers, aspirants, candidates, and supporters whose dedication ensured the successful conduct of the exercise.
“For a relatively young political party, what we have achieved within such a short period is remarkable,” Dickson said.
