The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed confidence that its candidates will participate in the 2027 general elections despite ongoing legal disputes surrounding the party’s registration.
Speaking on Friday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, assured supporters that the NDC would overcome its current legal challenges and remain on the ballot.
His remarks came shortly after a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, set aside an earlier judgment that had directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.
Reacting to the ruling, Enekweizu maintained that the party remained undeterred and was committed to contesting the forthcoming elections.
“All our candidates will be on the ballot in 2027, and we are confident of victory. We still have several months before the elections, and we remain focused on our objective,” he said.
He revealed that party officials had been scheduled to collect the necessary codes from INEC to begin uploading candidates’ details on the same day the court delivered its ruling.
“Interestingly, we were expected to be at INEC today to obtain the codes required for uploading our candidates. Then, in the middle of the day, the judgment was delivered. It appears the timing was intended to disrupt that process, but we remain confident that we will obtain the codes, submit our candidates and participate fully in the elections,” he stated.
Enekweizu urged party members and supporters not to be discouraged by the court decision, insisting that the legal setback would not prevent the NDC from pursuing its political ambitions.
According to him, many Nigerians are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs in the country, including rising economic hardship, insecurity and what he described as poor governance.
“Our supporters have no reason to panic. We believe Nigerians are looking for an alternative because they are frustrated by hunger, insecurity and the perceived failures of government. We are determined to provide that alternative,” he said.
