As political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Delta State has elected a new set of executives to steer the affairs of the party.<\/p>\n
The executives emerged during a well-attended delegates\u2019 congress held in Asaba, the state capital. <\/p>\n
The exercise, which drew hundreds of delegates, party chieftains, elders, and stakeholders, was conducted peacefully, with participants maintaining order throughout the process.<\/p>\n
Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security personnel were present to monitor the exercise. All candidates were returned unopposed through a voice vote.<\/p>\n
Chairman of the electoral committee, Engineer Kingsley Okafor, said the election followed the formal dissolution of the party\u2019s caretaker committee, as well as a motion duly moved and seconded by registered members for the congress to hold.<\/p>\n
Party leaders and stakeholders who addressed the gathering reaffirmed their commitment to reshaping Nigeria\u2019s political landscape, citing insecurity, economic hardship, and corruption as key challenges requiring urgent attention.<\/p>\n
A former Delta State governorship candidate in the 2023 elections, Ken Pela, described the influx of prominent political figures into the NDC as more than a routine political development, but a realignment driven by shared values and purpose.<\/p>\n
He noted that the reported defection of Peter Obi to the party had further strengthened its structure and signaled renewed hope for both Nigeria and Delta State.<\/p>\n
In his acceptance speech, the newly elected Delta State Chairman of the NDC, Chief Angiamaowei Richman Oyindoubra, described the congress as a success and a significant step toward national progress.
\n\u201cAt this point, we have built the Nigeria Democratic Congress in unity and without rancour. This election places a responsibility on us, and we are committed to justifying the confidence reposed in us by working towards victory in the 2027 general elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Reiterating the party\u2019s mission, Pela emphasized that the NDC is focused on serving Nigerians with a resolve to addressing the prevailing socio-economic challenges, including rising fuel prices and widespread hardship.<\/p>\n
He added that many citizens are aligning with the party in a bid to defend their votes and confront the nation\u2019s security and economic issues.<\/p>\n
Other speakers at the event expressed optimism about the party\u2019s emergence and pledged their readiness to work toward its success in the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
