Nigeria Democratic Congress
Political party in Nigeria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC; Hausa: Majalisar Dimokuradiyya ta Najeriya; Igbo: Òtù Ndị Ọchịchị Mba Naịjiriya; Yoruba: Ile-igbimọ Democratic ti Nigeria) is a political party in Nigeria founded in 2026. It was established in response to widespread demand for disciplined governance, long term national planning, and institutional accountability. Current members include Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, both candidates in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election.[4] On 26 June 2026, the Federal High Court, Lokoja Division, set aside its earlier judgement directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register NDC. The court ordered INEC to deregister NDC over logo infringement.
