The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has dismissed reports claiming that results from its primary elections have already emerged, describing the information as false and misleading.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the party’s National Secretary, Ikenna Enekweizu, the NDC clarified that its primaries are scheduled for May 29, 2026, making any circulating results invalid.
The reaction follows rumours alleging that activist Aisha Yesufu lost her bid for the party’s ticket to contest the Federal Capital Territory senatorial seat.
“The Nigeria Democratic Congress wishes to inform the general public that our party primaries are scheduled to hold tomorrow, 29th May 2026.
“It is therefore impossible and illogical for any primary results or winners to have emerged when the primaries are yet to take place.
“We strongly urge the public and all well-meaning Nigerians to completely disregard the fake NDC primary results and false rumours currently circulating. Any result that does not emanate from official party sources should be disregarded.
“NDC remains committed to a transparent and credible primary process. We appeal to all our supporters and registered members to stay vigilant and ignore any unverified information,” the statement read.
