ABUJA — The national leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has reaffirmed that Mrs. Epelle-Asemota Bridgitte Osayuki remains the party’s candidate for the Edo South Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party also alleged that an error occurred during the publication of candidates’ particulars by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), resulting in the display of the photograph and credentials of another aspirant alongside Osayuki’s name.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communication, Agada Abuh Theophilus, said the party had formally submitted Osayuki’s name, photograph and credentials to INEC in accordance with the Electoral Act.
According to the statement, the name published by INEC was that of Mrs. Epelle-Asemota Bridgitte Osayuki, but it was accompanied by the photograph and credentials of another aspirant.
