Seriake Dickson, national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has said the party will contest Nigeria's 2027 general elections independently and will not merge into the G-100 opposition coalition. Speaking during an interview on Arise Television's 'Prime Time' programme on Wednesday, Dickson stated that the NDC is going into the polls as its own party. He nonetheless called on the opposition to unite behind a single presidential candidate for the 2027 vote.

The viability of the NDC as a ruling party is questioned, according to Vanguard.
