Deregistration: Our candidates will still appear on the ballot – NDC

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has confirmed that its candidates will appear on the ballot in the 2027 general elections.

The party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, made this assurance during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.

He spoke about the NDC’s ongoing registration battles.

Earlier on Friday, a Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, overturned its previous ruling that had directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.

“All our candidates will be on the ballots come 2027, and we will win the elections. We still six months before next year.”

“Let me tell you something. There’s a funny thing about this matter. We were scheduled to pick up our codes to start uploading our candidates Today. We are supposed to be at INEC Today to pick up the codes, and then at the middle of the day, the ruling just came up.”

“I think it was designed and timed to stop us from picking up those codes, but I can assure you that we’ll pick them up. We’ll upload our candidates and we’ll participate in the elections.”

“Our candidates and supporters have nothing to fear. We’ll win the elections because Nigerians are fed up with what is going on in this country Today. We are fed up with the hunger, the insecurity, the failures of government and the heartlessness of the government that is ruining this country,” he said.
