The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is set to strengthen its organisational structure ahead of the 2027 elections with the commissioning of its new national secretariat in Abuja and the inauguration of its National Campaign Council on Monday, October 26.
The party’s programme also includes a meeting of its National Executive Committee (NEC) and the presentation of Certificates of Return to its candidates.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, Esq., said the NEC meeting would begin at 10 a.m. at the JD Vance Centre on Kashim Ibrahim Way, Maitama. Attendance at the meeting is restricted to invited NEC members.
The commissioning of the new national secretariat in Jabi is scheduled for 2 p.m., followed by the inauguration of the National Campaign Council and presentation of candidates’ certificates at 5 p.m. A dinner is also planned.
According to the party, attendance at the campaign council inauguration will be limited to members of the National Working Committee, the presidential candidate and running mate, governorship candidates and National Assembly candidates.
The activities come as political parties begin consolidating their structures, identifying campaign responsibilities and preparing candidates for the next electoral cycle.
A national secretariat can provide an administrative base for coordinating party operations, while a campaign council is expected to help organise political messaging, candidate support and nationwide campaign activities.
However, the practical significance of the NDC’s new arrangements will depend on how effectively the party coordinates its candidates and structures across the country, communicates its policy agenda and engages voters.
With the 2027 elections approaching, the party’s latest activities represent a further step in its preparations to compete in Nigeria’s increasingly active political landscape.
