The Nigeria Democratic Coalition (NDC) says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) denies it access to the access code needed to submit and manage candidates’ nominations through INEC’s nomination portal. According to the party, it has approached INEC to obtain the code so it can download or upload details for its candidates, but INEC has not provided the access credentials. The party also links the issue to its legal efforts following a Federal High Court ruling that it is preparing to challenge. Sources report that the NDC is in court to file for a stay of execution of the Lokoja Federal High Court decision, after the ruling ordered the party’s deregistration. The reports indicate the NDC has not received a response from INEC regarding its request for the code. The dispute centers on whether the party can proceed with candidate nomination processes while its registration status is being contested in court.
