NDC demands INEC portal audit over 10 Anambra candidates

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has disowned 10 candidates nominated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 Anambra State House of Assembly elections. The party claims that it neither nominated nor submitted the Form EC9E documents for these candidates, and demands an immediate electronic audit of INEC’s nomination portal to determine how the names and credentials of the disowned candidates entered the system.

NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theophilus Agada, revealed the party's position in a statement, stating that the 10 names were not from the party's nomination or appeal process, and that the commission rejected the names approved by the party, publishing unknown persons instead.
