The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has formally submitted the name of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), marking a significant step in the party's preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The submission follows Obi's affirmation as the party's presidential flagbearer at the NDC's special convention held in Abuja.
With his name now officially uploaded to INEC's portal, the party has completed a key administrative requirement in the electoral process, confirming Obi as its presidential candidate in the commission's records.
The development signals the beginning of the next phase of the NDC's preparations as the party intensifies efforts to promote its national platform and policy agenda ahead of the official commencement of campaigns for the 2027 general elections.
Party officials say the submission underscores the NDC's commitment to complying with electoral guidelines while positioning itself for the forthcoming presidential contest.
