The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) organized its third National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday, October 26, 2026, at JD Event Centre in Abuja, as part of preparations for the 2027 general election. A major focus of the meeting was the unveiling of the National Campaign Council (NCC), which will coordinate campaign activities across various levels of government.

The NDC's National Publicity Secretary announced that 80% of candidates could not afford the fees for expression-of-interest forms due to economic hardships, leading the party to provide the forms for free. The party's financial statement, presented by the National Treasurer, aimed to demonstrate transparency and accountability in financial management, challenging other parties like the All Progressives Congress (APC) to adopt similar practices.

The NDC emphasized its readiness to offer altruistic leadership, citing the economic difficulties faced by Nigerians under the APC-led government.
