The Nigeria Democratic Congress says its presidential and legislative primaries were conducted without irregularities or candidate imposition.
The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has dismissed allegations that its recently concluded presidential, National Assembly, governorship and state Houses of Assembly primaries were marred by irregularities and the imposition of candidates.
The party rejected the claims amid growing scrutiny surrounding the outcome of its internal electoral process ahead of the next election cycle.
According to the leadership, the primaries were conducted in line with the party’s procedures and democratic guidelines, insisting that allegations of manipulation lacked factual basis.
The response comes at a period when internal party processes are increasingly attracting public attention, particularly within opposition platforms attempting to consolidate political momentum ahead of future contests.
By publicly denying claims of imposed candidates, the party leadership appears focused on preserving confidence in the credibility of its nomination process at a time when questions around transparency continue to shape political conversations across party lines.
The development follows wider debates surrounding opposition party primaries and internal democracy within Nigeria’s political space.
