2027: NDC rejects INEC’s explanation, asks commission to explain source of Anambra candidates’ list
The NDC had accused INEC of “smuggling” the names of 10 people it said were not its approved candidates into the commission’s portal and publishing them as the party’s candidates for the 2027 elections. The post 2027: NDC rejects INEC’s explanation, asks commission to explain source of Anambra candidates’ list appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has denounced 10 candidates' names published by the Independent National Electoral Commission for the upcoming 2027 Anambra State House of Assembly elections. The party asserts that it neither nominated these individuals nor submitted their Form EC9E documents. The NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theophilus Agada, made this assertion in a statement issued in Abuja, questioning the process by which these names appeared on the commission's list.
Agada's statement highlighted that the disowned candidates were not part of the party's nomination or appeal processes. Agada emphasized the importance of the party's responsibility to submit the names and credentials of their nominated candidates to INEC, indicating that the NDC had not provided the required documents for the 10 candidates whose names were later published. This development follows the NDC's previous threats to sue INEC over similar allegations.
