Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has re-established access to its candidate nomination portal for the New Democratic Coalition (NDC). This action enables the NDC to upload candidate information, including that of Peter Obi, despite ongoing legal challenges concerning their nominations. The restoration was confirmed by Dickson, a representative connected to the process. Previously, access had been restricted, creating uncertainty around the party’s ability to fully participate in the candidate submission process. The move is significant as it clears a hurdle for Obi’s candidacy and other NDC nominees. INEC’s decision aims to ensure a comprehensive and legally sound candidate list for the upcoming elections. Further details regarding the legal battles surrounding the nominations remain ongoing.
