The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has formally ratified and endorsed the results of the party’s nationwide primary elections held ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The decision was taken at the party’s second NEC meeting, which was attended by the NDC presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, his running mate Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, members of the National Working Committee, state chairmen, and other key stakeholders from across the country.
Senator Seriake Dickson, who issued a statement on the outcome on Thursday, said the NEC reviewed the party’s progress, assessed the conduct of the recently concluded primaries, and strategised on strengthening the party for the 2027 polls.
While acknowledging that some challenges and disagreements occurred in certain locations during the primaries, Dickson emphasised the NDC’s commitment to internal democracy, transparency, fairness, and inclusion.
“The NEC resolved to intensify reconciliation, consultation, and stakeholder engagement efforts nationwide,” he said, urging all aspirants and party members to remain united in building the party.
In the statement, the NEC commended the electoral committees, screening and appeal panels, party officials, volunteers, aspirants, candidates, and supporters for their contributions to the successful conduct of the primaries.
“After reviewing reports from across the federation, NEC ratified and endorsed the outcome of the nationwide primary elections,” Dickson stated.
“For a relatively young political party, what we have achieved within such a short period is remarkable.”
The ratification is expected to consolidate the party’s position and pave the way for full preparation toward the 2027 general elections.
