2027: ‘NDC will contest elections under its own platform, not opposition’ coalition – Dickson

National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has said the party will contest the 2027 general election under the NDC platform.

Dickson stated this on Wednesday during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, while speaking about the G-100 opposition coalition.

The former Bayelsa State governor said the NDC would remain the platform through which its candidates would seek elective positions in the 2027 polls.

He also urged opposition political parties and groups to unite behind a single presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

According to him, presenting one strong candidate would give the opposition a better chance of challenging the ruling party at the polls.

The former Bayelsa State Governor said that while the NDC remains open to collaboration with other political parties, it has the strongest, most balanced and appealing ticket for the Nigerian people.

“We are going to the election as NDC. If other parties and candidates support us, as we think they should, well and good, but we are working to win the election.

“Our friends who are organizing the G-100 came to see me. They are great Nigerians doing a great job, and their thinking is not misplaced. The NDC is aware of the moves and the efforts they are making.

“The NDC, in principle, endorses what they are doing, and we have made it clear that, well, the general commitments are good and our position is very clear. We have the most exciting ticket. We have the most vibrant ticket. We have an appealing ticket. We have a balanced ticket. We have a ticket that resonates with the Nigerian people at home and abroad.

“Therefore, we remain committed to working with everybody. Two days ago, our presidential candidate was at a campaign rally of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, and when he finished, he came to me, and we discussed very briefly,” Dickson said.
