Leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC), including Sen. Seriake Dickson, presidential candidate Peter Obi, and his running mate Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, are expected in Akwanga on Thursday for the grand finale of the party’s campaign rally ahead of the Nasarawa North senatorial by-election scheduled for June 20, 2026.

The NDC State Chairman, Hon. Dogo Shammah, disclosed this during a State Working Committee meeting held on Wednesday at Savannah Hotel, Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

He said the party was intensifying mobilisation efforts to secure victory for its senatorial candidate, Ishaya Ododo, describing the by-election as a “testing ground” for the party’s strength ahead of the 2027 general elections.
