The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has uploaded details of its 2027 presidential placeholder candidate and 355 National Assembly candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal despite tight deadlines.
The party’s National Chairman, Agbo Major, disclosed this at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Major described the achievement as historic, given the time constraints that followed the delayed compliance with court orders by INEC in recognising the authentic leadership of the party led by its founder, Boniface Aniebonam.
He also confirmed that INEC had fully restored the original NNPP identity and logo, made up of a basket of fruits on the Nigerian map, on its candidate nomination portal.
“In spite of the initial delays, our situation room successfully uploaded a total of 355 National Assembly candidates, including placeholders across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
