The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has assured its members and supporters that its candidates will participate in the 2027 general elections.

The party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, gave the assurance on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today while reacting to ongoing legal disputes surrounding the party’s registration.

His remarks came shortly after a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, reversed its earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.

Despite the setback, Enekweizu expressed confidence that the party would overcome the challenges and field candidates in the upcoming elections.

“All of our candidates will be on the ballot in 2027, and we will win the election. We still have six months till next year.

Let me tell you something. There’s a funny thing about this situation. We were supposed to pick up our codes to begin uploading our prospects today.

We were meant to go to INEC today to pick up the codes, but the ruling was simply announced in the middle of the day.

“I believe it was constructed and timed to prevent us from picking up those codes, but I tell you that we will. We will upload our candidates and participate in the polls.

“Our candidates and supporters have nothing to worry about. We will win the polls because Nigerians are fed up with what is happening in their country today. We are fed up with the poverty, instability, government failures, and heartlessness that are destroying this country,” he stated.

The development has continued to generate political discussions as stakeholders monitor the legal and administrative processes surrounding the party’s registration ahead of the 2027 elections.
