The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed allegations by Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) that the commission’s officials removed candidates nominated by the party for the 2027 general election and replaced them with names, allegedly, unknown to the party.
NDC had alleged that some of its candidates were removed from INEC’s list and replaced with persons the party neither nominated nor authorised to contest under its platform, particularly in some House of Assembly constituencies in Anambra State.
