The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has directed its state and Local Government Area (LGA) chairmen to compile and harmonize party agents for the 2027 general elections. The party has given them two weeks to submit final lists for approval by the party leadership. This move is in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026. The NDC aims to ensure a robust and issue-based campaign.
According to Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, the party will have two separate sets of agents: one for the National Assembly elections and another for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections. The lists will be scrutinized and ratified by the party leadership, including its presidential candidate and running mate, before the commencement of training. This process will ensure that the party is well-prepared for the elections.
The NDC has directed state and LGA chairmen to convene meetings with candidates and stakeholders to collate and harmonize the list of agents. The final lists must be counter-signed by the state chairmen and the respective candidates to authenticate the nominations and establish ownership. This measure will help prevent disputes and ensure that the party presents a united front.
In cases where disagreements arise between party leadership and candidates over the choice of agents, the candidate's choice will prevail. The party has assured its members and supporters that its structures are in place for a successful campaign. The NDC is confident that it has the necessary structures to ensure victory in the 2027 elections.
