Nigeria’s New Democratic Coalition (NDC) has publicly disavowed candidate lists circulating online for upcoming elections in the states of Imo, Abia, and Anambra. The party stated it is investigating the origin of the fabricated lists, which purport to show its nominees. Currently, the NDC has not released the official names of candidates submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the country’s electoral body. The emergence of these unofficial lists raises concerns about potential disinformation campaigns ahead of the elections. The party’s denial aims to clarify the situation and prevent confusion among voters. Vanguard News first reported on the NDC’s statement regarding the matter. The investigation into the source of the leak is ongoing.
