In 2027, more than half of our candidates were selected through consensus – NDC

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) announced that more than half of its candidates for the 2027 general elections were selected through consensus.

Speaking on Arise Television on Thursday, the party’s national spokesman, Osa Director, warned that many individuals are attempting to undermine the NDC by claiming it is no different from other political parties.

Director reiterated the party’s pledge to maintain a transparent and inclusive democratic process.

“Over 50% of NDC candidates emerged through consensus. The NDC is a party that will conduct itself in a way that is no longer business as usual. That is a promise we made to Nigerians,” he said.

“However, you find out that the NDC is a bride that is attracting so many suitors, and at the end of the day, only one suitor is going to be allowed to pay the bride price. Then, those who are unable to do that would naturally feel a bit dissatisfied or feel a sense of rejection, but in the NDC, no one is rejected.”

“Like my national chairman said, the NDC is a political Noah’s Ark that is going to serve as a vehicle to turn Nigeria to a destination of salvation, a destination where we shall embrace progress and development, and inclusive progress and development,” he added.
