The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has appealed to aspirants who participated in the party’s recently concluded primary elections to accept the outcomes and support efforts to strengthen the party. Speaking at the second National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja, Obi noted that the NDC conducted congresses, conventions, and primaries within 90 days – an unprecedented feat requiring understanding and sacrifice. He apologised for the late start of the meeting and announced plans for a nationwide engagement tour to strengthen grassroots mobilisation. The party also resolved to introduce electronic voting for future internal elections.
Key Points:
Obi’s call for unity aims to prevent post‑primary disputes that could weaken the NDC.
A nationwide tour may boost the party’s visibility and grassroots support ahead of 2027.
Electronic voting could reduce internal election disputes and improve transparency.
The party’s rapid organisational growth in 90 days signals strong momentum.
Aggrieved aspirants may stay loyal if Obi’s inclusive leadership appeals to them.
The NDC leadership will now focus on internal reforms and nationwide engagement, hoping to present a credible alternative in the 2027 elections.
