  "account": "The National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to establish a 13-man executive structure in each polling unit across Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections, according to Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central. This structure is aimed at strengthening the party's grassroots presence and ensuring proper representation during voting. Umeh explained that every polling unit will have 13 individuals dedicated to specific duties, including polling booth executives. These executives will be essential in ensuring the party has a strong presence at the polling units, enabling them to produce agents for every unit during the election. The party is also preparing separately to ensure they have polling agents across the country, emphasizing their readiness to be present in every polling unit on election day. Umeh stated that the NDC has fielded candidates for all positions contested in the 2027 elections, which will help drive the party's structure down to the polling units. He added that he is personally establishing a 20-man coordinator in each polling unit to ensure the party's agents have access to polling-unit results on election day.",
