The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) rejects primary election results that are circulating on social media, saying the party has not officially announced any outcome. In statements reported by multiple outlets, the NDC says only its National Executive Council (NEC) is empowered to ratify and officially publish the results for its candidates. The party therefore asks the public to disregard “viral” or unofficial figures and wait for the NEC process.
The reports also indicate that the NDC has scheduled or plans an NEC meeting focused on candidate outcomes and ratification. Until that meeting takes place and the NEC makes an official announcement, the party treats the circulating results as unverified. The same position is reflected across the sources: the NDC disowns the social media-reported results, calls for NEC validation, and frames the NEC announcement as the authoritative point for determining the final list of candidates coming out of the primaries.
