The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has approved waiver for former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege to contest the Delta Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
NDC granted 2027 senatorial waivers to ex-Deputy Senate President Omo-Agege (Delta Central) and ex-Assembly Speaker Ochei (Delta North) following their defection from the APC. The move signals NDC's strategy of absorbing high-profile APC defectors to challenge ruling-party dominance in Delta State ahead of the election cycle.
