The Obidient Movement has assured its supporters that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso will remain on the ballot for the 2027 general election despite the party’s ongoing legal challenges.
The Obidient Movement has assured supporters that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will be on the ballot in the 2027 general elections despite the legal dispute surrounding the party’s registration. The reassurance follows a Federal High Court judgment that set aside an earlier order directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC.
The movement’s assurance comes as the NDC continues its legal challenge against the court ruling affecting its registration. Party leaders have maintained that they will pursue all lawful options to protect the party’s status and ensure their candidates participate in the 2027 elections.
The Obidient Movement said supporters should remain calm, insisting that the legal process is ongoing and expressing confidence that Obi and Kwankwaso will eventually appear on the ballot.
The statement adds to a series of responses from NDC officials and supporters following the recent court judgment. While the legal proceedings continue, party leaders have consistently maintained that they remain committed to participating fully in the 2027 electoral process.
The Obidient Movement urged its supporters not to be discouraged by recent developments, reiterating its position that Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso remain the NDC’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates and will contest the 2027 election. The party has also indicated that it will continue pursuing legal remedies over the registration dispute.
The legal contest over the NDC’s registration remains before the courts, while the party and the Obidient Movement insist that preparations for the 2027 general election will continue as they await further judicial and electoral processes.
