The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, is rolling out the red carpet for all aspirants. No one got knocked out in the screening round, and the party says everyone who bought an Expression of Interest Form is good to go for the primary elections across the country.
The National Executive Committee, NEC, announced that only successful candidates from the primary eldctions will move to the next step. Those winners will be allowed to buy and submit Nomination Forms. For now, there will be no sale of Nomination Forms until after the primary elections.
State Chairmen have their marching orders. They are to set up Local Organising Committees to work with Electoral Committees and run the primaries in every local government area. Chairmen are also expected to coordinate with INEC EPIMS officials, electoral officers, and other stakeholders to keep things smooth.
Security is top of the list. The party directed State Chairmen to put proper arrangements in place to ensure the process is peaceful and credible.
Meetings are happening today. State Chairmen will meet with Electoral Committees, State Executives, major stakeholders, and all aspirants to plan for a hitch-free primary tomorrow.
When the votes are counted, only the national office will announce the results.
The statement was signed by Osa Director, NDC National Publicity Secretary. Conclave.
