The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has provided updates concerning its upcoming Presidential, National Assembly, Governorship, and State Assembly primaries.
A statement signed by Senator Moses Cleopas, National Chairman and Barr. Ikenna Alex-Morgan Enekweizu, National Secretary, said these primaries are confirmed to take place across the nation on May 29, 2026, adhering to the previously established timetable of May 28 and 29.
The party said that due to the Eid-el-Kabir festivities and the associated public holidays, significant transportation and logistical issues have emerged, including a lack of available flights.
