NDC disowns 10 Anambra candidates on INEC portal

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has disowned 10 Anambra State candidates listed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 House of Assembly elections, claiming they neither nominated nor submitted the required Form EC9E documents. NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theophilus Agada, expressed this stance in a statement, questioning how INEC obtained the credentials of the affected candidates when it is the party's responsibility to submit their names.

The NDC had previously threatened legal action against INEC over similar allegations, citing confusion and internal disaffection ahead of the 2027 general elections.
