The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced plans to hold its first national convention in Abuja on Saturday, May 9, 2026.
The party made this known through a statement released on Friday by its National Chairman, Moses Cleopas, on the party’s 𝕏 page.
According to the statement, delegates across the country have been invited to attend the gathering, which is expected to bring together party members and stakeholders for the convention.
The event will take place at the Los Angeles Event Centre located along Ahmadu Bello Way in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The convention is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
NDC said preparations for the meeting were complete, urging delegates to arrive at the venue in time for the commencement of activities.
“The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) welcomes all delegates to its inaugural national convention holding on Saturday, 9th May 2026, at Los Angeles Event Centre, Ahmadu Bello Way, FCT Abuja, by 10 a.m.,” the statement read.
In other news, the NDC has dismissed speculations linking the party to an alleged pact with former President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
The party insisted that consultations regarding its presidential ticket were still ongoing and that no final decision had been taken.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, the Deputy National Spokesman of the NDC, Abdulmumin Abdulsalam, said the party had neither zoned its presidential ticket nor reached any agreement with Jonathan.
“The NDC is a party that believes in merging ideas and consultations across boards,” he said.
“I can categorically tell you that we have not zoned the presidential ticket. Consultations are still ongoing since politics is a dynamic game.”
