The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has assured that its candidates will be on ballot in next year’s general elections.
The National Secretary of the party, Ikenna Enekweizu, gave this assurance on Friday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He was speaking on the party’s registration battles.
Recall that a Federal High Court in sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Friday set aside its judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress, 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.
