The Independent National Electoral Commission has restored the Nigeria Democratic Congress’ access to its candidate nomination portal, allowing the party to upload the names of its National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson and presidential candidate, Peter Obi, despite the ongoing legal battle over the party’s status.
Dickson disclosed the development in a post on his X account on Tuesday.
He described it as a positive step after the party filed a notice of appeal and an application for stay of execution against last week’s judgment of the Federal High Court in Lokoja.
He said the appeal and accompanying applications had been served on the electoral commission with a covering letter urging it to act in accordance with the law.
