The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has moved to quell growing confusion surrounding the outcome of its nationwide primaries, as the party’s National Leader, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Seriake Dickson, ordered an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC).
In a press statement issued on Sunday by the National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director Esq., the party urged the general public to completely disregard various results currently circulating on social media purporting to be the outcome of the primaries held on May 28th and 29th, 2026.
According to the party, any results being shared on unverified platforms are unauthorized and should be treated as false.
“The results of the primaries are with the National Executive Council (NEC) of our great party. They are solely responsible for announcements of results,” the statement read.
Senator Dickson, a former Governor of Bayelsa State, directed that all NEC members converge in Abuja for a pre-NEC meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026. The main NEC meeting will follow on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026.
The party assured stakeholders and the wider public that official results will only be made public after the NEC meeting, at which point the list of candidates who will fly the party’s flag will be formally submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We urge the general public and all stakeholders to remain calm and await the official announcement from NEC,” the statement added.
The NDC conducted its nationwide primaries earlier this week to select candidates for various positions ahead of the upcoming general elections.
